Sketch of Lairre and her hypothetical dog, affectionately named Shuck after Black Shuck/Old Shuck. He's a completely normal good boy, it's just that his owner is a ghost with a penchant for East Anglian mythology and folklore.
I hc she acquired him on accident, as in... he followed her home and she couldn't say no. He's a bit sassy and has opinions, but he'll follow Lairre left and right and isn't shy of accidentally bumping her over in his excitement.

Lairre versus the rest
I've been meaning to make this post for a while. Which characters in the Pleasant Green Universe are Lairre? And which are not? Let's mess about and find out. I'm using a pros and cons system here, pros being arguments for the character in question being Lairre, cons being arguments against the character in question being Lairre.
Small disclaimer, I'm writing this at work and only have my brain and the wiki page to rely on. If there's anything I've missed, feel free to reblog and comment! Also, keep in mind this started out as a joke that came forth out of the 'what if all Nicola Walker characters are Lairre' meme! With most of these characters, I'm not too serious, but I still wanted to include them all.
Mrs. Wilson (Fragments)
Pro: Mythos reveals Lairre had innate knowledge of Pleasant Green while not having been involved in the operation (as far as we know). Either her clearance level is high enough, or she's (temporarily) lived there.
Con: Mrs. Wilson is married and has a daughter and a son, the latter of the two being enrolled at the University of Aberdeen. It is unlikely a cover personality would go this deep for this long.
Con: Mrs. Wilson presumably disappeared when all of Pleasant Green did. If not, she is likely the housekeeper Kennedy Fisher mentions in The Haunter of the Dark.
Verdict: it is unlikely that Mrs. Wilson is a cover personality of Lairre's.
Dr. Annika Gruber (The Listener)
Pro: Her work involves memory related tasks, including but not limited to alteration, removal and replacement of existing memories in people - this is always something that is worth noting when it comes to this universe.
Con: She seems to hold down a stable job where she is essential and needed. The impression is that she's been in the job for a longer period of time.
Verdict: while it is up in the air and could hypothetically go both ways, it is unlikely that Dr. Gruber is a cover personality of Lairre's.
Rachel Weir (Bad Memories)
Con: Rachel meets her untimely end at the Blake House, and turns out to be the fifth body found years after the original disappearances.
Verdict: it is not possible that Rachel is a cover personality of Lairre's.
Bisa (Bad Memories)
Con: Bisa is alive and well after having left Blake House, and presumably lived to old age.
Verdict: it is unlikely that Bisa is a cover personality of Lairre's.
Alice Price (Kokomo)
Pro: Alice has a willingness to abandon protocol and bend the rules when she wants so long as it benefits the case. These are traits that Lairre is also prone to.
Con: Has a long history when it comes to police/detective work and now works for the CTU as a negotiator.
Con: Canonically has a father, who we hear her speak to at the start of the episode. Lairre, according to her folklore, came to England without family.
Con: Kokomo as a story seems unconnected/separate from the rest. The would-be lasting impact of the Kokomo virus seems to have had no repercussions or impact on the PGU as a whole.
Verdict: it is unlikely that Alice Price is a cover personality of Lairre's.
Dr. Fallon (Fugue State)
Pro: Mythos reveals Lairre had innate knowledge of Pleasant Green while not having been involved in the operation (as far as we know). Either her clearance level is high enough, or she gained this knowledge under cover.
Con: Johnson is there, who is Lairre's boss. If this was Lairre undercover, he would very likely know.
Con: Dr. Fallon falls into a fugue state and lives on as a non-corporeal consciousness. This was presumably incurable. The episode takes place a year before Mythos does, and thus conflicts with Lairre's personal timeline.
Verdict: it is not possible that Dr. Fallon is a cover personality of Lairre's.
Mary Lairre (Mythos)
Verdict: this is the original deal, what more do you want me to say? She is the nun, the myth, the legend.
Dr. Eleanor Peck (The Lovecraft Investigations / Who is Aldrich Kemp?)
Verdict: it was canonically confirmed in episode 10 of The Haunter of the Dark, after many hints throughout the previous series, that Dr. Eleanor Peck is an alternate personality of Lairre's.
Mrs. Alice Boone (Aldrich Kemp series)
Pro: The top layer of her mind is medieval, a fact that characters like Clara Page put too much emphasis on to be random.
Pro: She seems somewhat indestructible for a mortal woman. She's been injured on several occasions, including getting hit by a car and getting thrown through a shop window on impact. She got off suspiciously well, without lasting injuries.
Con: Mrs. Boone has an extensive history, including having been an Olympic Gold medalist in Seoul in 1988. We don't currently know how far cover personalities or kaleidoscope memories go and how much can be implanted, such as enough knowledge of fencing to win a gold medal in it. This con is tentative.
Con: Mrs. Boone has a long and extensive history with the Themis Group, and Aunt Lilly has a great knowledge of her past. It is doubtful this is false.
Con: Mrs. Boone has listened to and is a fan of The Mystery Machine podcast, something which Dr. Eleanor Peck is heavily involved in. She cannot be in two places at the same time.
Verdict: it is highly unlikely that Mrs. Boone is a cover personality of Lairre's.

The long way home with you
by @artificalwick / meluisart
one day I'll learn how to write a nice looking post...
Parker's good intentions put her and Mary in danger of non-existence. Opps! Fortunately Ness, Byron and assorted others are here to help.
this fan fic combines all three of the Simpson radio dramas in a very natural way. There is great background, pretty much all cannon based. A lot of thought has gone into the mechanics behind the kaleidoscope machine and it pays off.

The Ghost of Marie Lairre
Tumblr media
Marie Lairre by Aiko Takada. Source: Deviant Art
Marie Lairre was a French nun who walled up in Borley in Essex after an illicit affair with a monk. The hideous nature of the young woman’s death seemed to lead to a frenetic and generations-long period of haunting. Marie was frequently seen on the streets of Borley village over the centuries until 1863, when the Reverend HD Bull built Borley Rectory and she transferred her place of residence there. She took to gazing at the vicar through an open window and Bull responded by bricking it up. This kept Marie quiet until the Rectory passed to the Reverend Bull’s son Harry, which provoked a major upping of the supernatural ante with ghostly coaches hurtling through the house and Marie herself frequently spotted replete with mournful, gaping-mouthed expression. She also became more violent, hurling a candlestick at a new rector in 1929, forcing him to flee the building.
On this day in 1939, a blaze took hold of the rectory, burning it to the ground. As the building burned, the ghostly figure of Marie could be seen at a first floor window, gazing out impassively as the flames danced around her. As revealed at a seance the previous year, the wreckage of the house enabled the discovery of Marie’s bones, which were promptly given a Christian burial. Unfortunately this did not placate wandering Marie who continues to roam the roads of Borley to this day.

Borley Rectory
The Borley Rectory is a haunted mansion in Essex that became infamous as the most haunted place in England. Today, it doesn’t exist because it burned to the ground under mysterious circumstances in 1939.
The remains of the Victorian mansion known as Borley Rectory are located in a small village near the town of Sudbury in Essex. It was built in 1862 on the site of an ancient Benedictine monastery. Before the Rectory was constructed, the area was already believed to be haunted by the ghost of a nun. Many villagers claimed they had seen her sorrowful figure strolling along a path they called Nun’s Walk.
According to the legend, the nun had fallen head over heels in love with a monk who lived in the monastery at Borley. When their affair was discovered, the two lovers tried to elope together but they were quickly caught and dragged kicking and screaming back to Borley. The monk was executed and the nun was bricked up alive within the monastery’s cellar walls.
The first occupant of Borley Rectory was the Reverend Henry Bull and his family. Unexplained footsteps were heard in the house at night, guests were often startled by the figure of a woman peering in at them through the windows of the Rectory and shadowy figures were seen in the children’s bedrooms. The Reverend’s four daughters all claimed they saw the ghost of a nun near the house one evening. When they went closer and tried to talk to her, they said she disappeared.
In 1929, the Rectory was taken over by the Reverend Guy Smith and his wife. One day, soon after moving in, Mrs. Smith was cleaning out a cupboard when she came across a brown paper package. Inside, she was horrified to find the skull of a young woman. At night, they heard strange footsteps and were convinced that they had seen the apparition of a phantom coach driven by two headless horsemen racing up the Rectory drive.
Frightened by the unexplained events, the Smiths contacted a local newspaper which arranged for a paranormal investigator named Harry Price to visit the place and try to get to the bottom of what was going on. They began to experience poltergeist activity. Vases and other objects were smashed, rocks and stones were thrown around the rooms and they heard tapping on a mirror that sounded like a ghost was trying to communicate with them. It was all too much for the Smiths and they left after only two years.
The Rectory became the home of the Reverend Lionel Foyster, his wife Marianne and their adopted daughter Adelaide. As soon as the family moved in, the paranormal phenomena took a turn for the worse. Objects inexplicably disappeared and were later found in other parts of the house, furniture was overturned, bells rang of their own accord, windows mysteriously shattered, stones flew across the room and bottles smashed on the floor.
The ghost seemed to become obsessed with the rector’s young wife. She was thrown out of her bed at night by a mysterious force and slapped by invisible hands. She often had objects thrown at her and was once almost suffocated with a mattress. At one point she acquired a black eye. Another terrifying event happened when little Adelaide was trapped in a room and unable to open the door, even though it did not have a lock. She was later attacked by an evil presence, which she could only describe as something horrible.
Even more bizarre were the messages which began to appear scrawled on the walls of the house. They were all addressed to Marianne and appeared even while eyewitnesses were watching. Most of the messages were little more than scribbles and made no sense, but one of them read, “Marianne, please help get” and another was, “Marianne light mass prayers.”
In desperation, Reverend Foyster tried to conduct an exorcism, but his efforts were fruitless. Harry price decided to put an advertisement out in the paper looking for volunteers to assist him in a thorough investigation of the Rectory. He received a huge number or replied and chose 48 people to help him.
Using a Ouija board, they managed to contact a spirit who called herself Marie Lairre. Speaking from beyond the grave, she said that, in life, she had been a nun in France but had left her convent and traveled to England to marry a man named Henry Waldegrave. Once there, her husband had strangled her and buried her remains in the cellar.
After doing some research, they found out that there was a wealthy man who had lived in the area in the 17th century and his name was Henry Waldegrave.
Months later, they succeeded in contacting another spirit who called himself Sunex Amures. He said that the rectory would burn down that night at 9 o’clock and the bones of a murdered person would be revealed in the ruins. After waiting the time that night, nothing had happened.
Borley Rectory did not burn that night, but exactly 11 months later in 1939. The building accidentally caught fire. The flames spread quickly and the Rectory was burned to the ground. Henry Price returned to Borley Rectory again in 1943 and after digging in the ruins, he discovered the bones of a young woman buried in the cellar alongside a medal of Saint Ignatius.
The bones were given a Christian burial in an attempt to end the haunting. However, it does not seem to have worked. Supernatural happenings are still reported from the site of the ruins of Borely Rectory and the nearby churchyard.
Will the ghost of Marie Lairre ever find peace or is she doomed to haunt the site of her murder for all eternity?

The Ghost of Marie Lairre
Tumblr media
Source: notebookofghosts.com
It is on this day that the ghost of Nun Marie Lairre is most likely to manifest at the Old Rectory, Borley Church in Essex. Borley is one of the most famous, and credible, haunted sites in England. Marie appears with a mournful expression, gliding as much as a foot above ground. The ghostly nun has been sighted many times and in 1943, during excavation in Borley Church’s graveyard, the jawbone of a young woman from the time of the Middle Ages, was dug up and found to be deformed by an abscess: perhaps this explains the ghost’s unhappy and pained expression.
In the early seventeenth century, during the so-called “Personal Rule” of King Charles I, life was made difficult for Presbyterians who wished to practice their version of Christianity, with their places of worship often closed. These Puritans and their ministers took to carrying out their worship in isolated parts of the country covered in blankets to protect them from the elements. These were known as Blanket Preachings. A large open air service held this day at Yarrow near Selkirk, is said to be descended from those days of persecution by the Anglican Church.
