Those of Repton certainly.
There are certain tube stations where you are never sure if it will be the same year you got off the train when you have reached the surface. Stations that feel temporally compromised. Tunnels that bend time.
People don’t want to live in Haines House. It isn’t due to the temperamental lifts or concrete cancer. It isn’t even because of the black mould that sent one former resident so insane he claimed it was sentient. No. People don’t want to live in Haines House because of the ghosts.
Tube tunnel pareidolia. The seeping of plague dead in wall augury.
When people talk of crime families they think in terms of criminals. They don’t consider crime families in terms of generational coppers. A being born into a place of opposition. The Spratlings are a coppering family. Their heads have even adapted to the helmets. - #DSCallaghan
That bit on the canal as it passes the back of the Haines Estate is notoriously ghost-troubled. Not just your usual phantoms - navvies, exhausted horses drowned babies - but the dismembered spirits of gangland killings dumped in suitcases. A sodden desire to come together again.
This will be a masterwork. Murphy is not capable of producing less.

The shifting city that remakes itself behind your back. The city where no road runs the same way twice. We spiv magicians know all about that. We have our navigations. - Paris Smith
New religions crawling from the television. New languages of night emerging from the constant engine static of traffic system circuits and buzz of the sodium orange lights. This is a future easy to predict and harder to avoid. - Byron Geth of the Temple of Obsidian Transmissions
The biggest gang in any city is always the police. Also, always the one with some of the biggest bastards. - #DSCallaghan
In Repton, members of the Clockmakers Guild were known by the same name as was given in the trade to the inner workings of the machines they built - Complications. It was also the name taken by their magical lodge within the borough.
Bone-dancing along the scream of the city’s concrete lip. All the secret languages of the street - traffic stutter, iron railing sigils, paving stone hieroglyphs - filling me with stories. London is a place of wonders for all its bruises. - Paris Smith, Spiv Magician
The London Dockland Development Corporation has still failed to put forward any plans for the future of the ‘Doom Wharfs’ as the old moorings for plague ships have become known to locals. - Repton Recorder, February, 1982
In the 19th century, there was said to be a certain sail-maker near St. Alphege’s Docks who could stitch spells into lug and square sails that rendered a boat invisible to pirates or custom men. If not delivering invisibility, the spells worked well enough in terms of blind eyes.
When we descend the city we travel in time. Traverse layers of story, layers of information. Each step down is a movement in years, a navigation through ghost soil. - #DAKilroy
There are certain streets of the city that whisper cruel curses when you walk them. Malign sigils activated by walking. Stretches where soot sentience has invaded brick and wishes nothing but ill in those who pass it by. - #CLNolan, 1886
