Hello, I am Robert G. Male.
Welcome to WraithStop™. Here you will find links that I think are of interest.
Furthermore these are links that I want to keep track of because they have given me either ideas or some other form of

in which they appear (meaning: read them from the bottom up for a certain day's list). Some of these sites may require

Sleep We Have Lost: Pre-industrial Slumber in the British Isles
- The second paragraph is the most direct to why I chose this page. I
had read before of the "first sleep" and "second sleep" and the activities taken in-between. What is missing
here is talk of knitting circles and other chore groups during this time. What is added is an interesting
look at the rise of beds (in part literally) in and about paragraph 15. Sleep clothing (or lack is covered)
as are pests and sleeping in paragraph 17 and elsewhere. This is just the sort of information that can make
for a much more interesting historical account and give room for different kinds of horror scenarios that
have a distinctly different feel than those of modern times. The dark rituals and shenanigans that were
likely done during the in-between time, with none the wiser, make it worth it alone.
