A Weird Gazeteer: Daily Excursions into the Lovecraftian Imaginary 7: Dunwich and Rendlesham Redux



Pictured above is a folder containing collated fieldnotes pertaining to a series of psychogeographical investigations undertaken by myself in July 2008, which delved into the suspected influence of certain alien presences (assumed to be identical with those which Lovecraft describes in his fiction) in and around Dunwich, Rendlesham, and Orford Ness. Whilst these praeternatural forces have almost certainly been present in the region since time immemorial, my investigations at the time were prompted by numerous portents indicating that they had become more active during the early stages of the 21st Century - probably as a consequence of a powerful occult ritual of which I had been made aware, and which had been performed in the vicinity of Dunwich Village sometime in 2001.

The second photograph is of various materials gathered from Dunwich, Rendlesham, and Orford Ness over the course of my investigations. Unsettlingly, the pamphlet concerning Dunwich Heath and Orford Ness regularly refers to those regions as part of Suffolk’s secret coast...

I may eventually get round to making public a (redacted) version of my notes, which include the observation of strange aerial and oceanic phenomena near the village of Aldeburgh, an unsettling encounter with what may have been a Man-in-Black (who followed me at a distance - stopping exactly when I stopped) whilst I was exploring Dunwich Forest, and the eerie sense of utter cosmic abjection which, to this day, afflicts parts of what was once the Ministry of Defence atomic weapons establishment at Orford Ness.
