The Picts, a late Iron Age culture in Scotland, have fascinated historians and laymen for generations. Because they kept no written records, little is know about the Picts. But they’ve been the subject of much conjecture. And the recent find of a stone relief will only ad to this. This image (above) shows what has been described as a “beast” with several symbols around. But Pictish iconography is such a mystery the actually meaning of the images remains unclear.
It’s also unclear why the stone image remained unrecorded until now. How it survived in such excellent condition for so long. And where it originally was made. In short, Pictish research grants here we come! But, seriously, it is a fascinating addition to existing evidence of this mysterious culture.

Here’s a fan favorite from the old time radio series “The Shadow”. It’s entitled “Ghost Town” But, as with all episodes of “The Shadow”, the “ghosts” in this town aren’t quite what they seem.
In this episode the Shadow/Lamont Cranston is played by Bill Johnstone and Margo Lane is played by Majorie Anderson.

Posted in Audio, Sci-Fi, Fantasy and Horror, Television, Video with tags a good man goes to war, Alex Kingston, amy pond, arthur darvill, doctor who, history, karen gillan, matt smith, Poetry, River Song, Rory Williams, Wars and Conflicts on June 2, 2011 by ghostradioworldThis poem can be found on BBC website here. The poem, though a mediocre piece of writing, clearly offers some hints about the coming episode with which it shares a title. Here’s the full text:
Demons run when a Good Man goes to war.
Night will fall and drown the sun
When a Good Man goes to war.
Friendship dies and true love lies.
Night will fall and the dark will rise
when a Good Man goes to war.
Who are the demons? How will true love lie? And what is the dark that is rising?
