Malign Fequencies 104 - Harlow Hill Field Report 10: The Lychgate


The Lychgate is a narrow path which leads north out of St.Mary’s crooked, hillside cemetery towards the pedestrian, urbanise modernity of Harlow town centre. Demarcating the threshold between the temporal and the incorporeal, the Lychgate evidences more than its fair share of spectral inhabitants who exist between worlds - and whose hauntological state is the due of all those who fully understand what it is to really dwell within Horsingdon’s strange topography: existing within the narrow corridor where worlds overlap, participating in a kind of ghostly, ephemeral half-life within that twilight fringe between two realms, but never truly belonging to either.
