We are delighted to invite you to visit Digital Spirits for an online experience of The Haunting: Ghosts of Every Shade.

This includes Simon Armitage reading his unsettling new ghost story Eleven Elms commissioned for The Haunting; Imtiaz Dharker reading A Haunting, a series of deeply moving poems also specially written for this project; animation by Jack Lockhart; spoken word and poetry performances by Rommi Smith, John Siddique and Joe Williams; mesmerising soundscapes by Jonnie Khan; artists, including Adele Howitt, reflecting on their work; online exhibitions of Imtiaz Dharker’s powerful black and white drawings exploring themes of displacement, terror, religious strife, grief and loss and Steve Manthorp’s curious small sculpture such as The Incubus, Adders and Ladders, Bell Book and Candle, The Albigension Hersey and the unforgettable The Haunted Doll’s House inspired by the M.R. James ghost story of the same name.

 

We hope you enjoy this box of ghostly delights.

 

Very best wishes
