Northern Folklore Archive are extremely proud to present SCARRED FOR LIFE: UNPLANNED

Do you need to talk to someone about the residual trauma of watching Children of the Stones on a Monday afternoon in 1977?

Are you still having nightmares about the poltergeist story you saw on your local ITV news programme when you were six?

Or have you spent the last forty years trying to identify the series you saw sometime between 1971 and 1979 and you can’t remember exactly what it was but it had the bloke from that other show and he was fighting an alien with an egg whisk on its head, or it might have been a ghost with a sieve on its head, and you’re at least 67% sure it was absolutely, definitely him?

Come and join our support group!

In this special evening, Stephen Brotherstone – co-author of the acclaimed Scarred For Life books – joins Fortean Times writer Bob Fischer to discuss your memories of the scariest pop culture from the 1970s and 80s.

Held in the intimate setting of Burnley Library, it’s literally two hours of absolutely unscripted conversation sparked by your fading recollections of terrifying old telly. Together, we can finally identify the programme with the egg whisk alien. Or the sieve-headed ghost. Because it absolutely did star the bloke from that other thing, didn’t it? Oh, hang on – was it him after all? Maybe not. And come to think of it, it might have been 1989 rather than 1979...
