Cette semaine, Actuel Moyen Âge voyage dans le temps et vous offre une... Actuelle Antiquité ! Episode V : @FabienBP vous parle des #fantômes 👻 de l'Antiquité, pour fêter #halloween2019 comme il faut ! Un thread ⬇️ #histoire 
@FabienBP Gémissements, hurlements, sifflements, les fantômes se donnent d'abord à entendre. La bande-son est capitale, comme ajd dans un film d'horreur : « des hurlements d'âmes sans visage » : ainsi Ovide décrit-il les fantômes.
@FabienBP Ce qui, d'ailleurs, rend Cicéron perplexe : comment un fantôme peut-il produire un son vu qu'il n'a ni langue, ni palais, ni poumons... ? #pragmatique #sceptique
Got your #Halloween2019 costume ready? Take inspiration from these ghoulish pieces from the Parliamentary Art Collection. ⤵️
Edward Hedge's etching shows a witch seated beside a cauldron decorated with a grotesque skull, evoking the ghostly figure of Oliver Cromwell, appearing from a cloud of smoke. It was originally published in February 1784 shortly before George III dissolved Parliament.
John Doyle's lithograph from 1829 shows a group of Conservative ministers including the Duke of Wellington being confronted by the ghost of Prime Minister George Canning. In the scene the ghost addresses the group, “Now I am avenged”.
'Trick or treat' to our KBHR listeners from yours truly, Chris Stevens, on this All Hallows Eve. (Thread)

Nos hemos levantado con la desagradable noticia de un incendio que ha devastado el castillo Shuri en Okinawa (Japón). Una joya del s. XIV. #WH_arquitectura #WH_historia
El Castillo de Shuri (首里城 Shurijō?) (en okinawense: sui ugusiku) es un gusuku (castillo Ryūkyū) ubicado en Shuri, Okinawa. Fue el primer palacio del reino de Ryukyu.
En 1945, durante la batalla de Okinawa, fue casi completamente destruido, quedando sólo algunas paredes en pie apenas a ras del suelo.
so-called “special traffic arrangements” at famous Lan Kwai Fong is just another example of #HKGov’s OPPRESSION on civilians’ #freedom of assembly, freedom of celebrating #Halloween

O #Halloween está chegando! É neste período que vemos vários jogos online atualizando seus cenários e skins dos personagens. A ideia é deixar o público no clima do Dia das Bruxas. 🎃🎃🎃🕯️🕯️🕯️☠️☠️☠️
Bora falar no caso de #Overwatch :3

Dentre os jogos online que estão curtindo este período está #Overwatch (Blizzard). Até alguns dos mapas do jogo foram enfeitados para entrar na brincadeira. Um deles é “Hollywood”...
O outro é "Eichenwalde", cujo castelo foi transformado no cenário do clássico #Frankenstein.

On #Halloween (Nos Calan Gaeaf) in Wales: "ghosts walk, fairies are abroad, mysterious influences are in the air, strange sights are seen, and in short goblins of every sort are to be with special freedom encountered."
