Creating a Visitor Video PART TWO!

I've picked a place rather than an individual ghost...

Dover Castle has been a fortress since Roman times. It was used for defence as recently as WWII. It has a LOT of ghosts. This makes it an ideal subject.

I usually start building my videos with a short stock video and a piece of music. Everything must be copyright-free or allowed under the canva rules.

Here are our rules:

Here's a link to the ClusterCon II website so you can see which important creative members of the Lockwood & Co production team will be joining us!

Calling all fans of Lockwood & Co! We need YOU!

On 8th November 2025, there will be a virtual panel with creators and crew from the Netflix production of Lockwood & Co.

As part of the event, we are asking fans of the show and the books to create poems and videos on the theme of Visitors of the World!

We want you to tell us about your local ghosts. Is your riverside haunted by a coven of Cold Maidens? Do you have secret codes to evade the neighbourhood Fetch?

I will be sharing a few quick posts today explaining more about the content.

This ClusterCon, use poems, videos or art to tell us about YOUR ghosts! A ghost from folklore? Something you experienced? Maybe just a haunted place which you've visited. Check out the requirements & examples at the link above.

I will be sharing some of our examples today.

Not sure how to present your Visitor of the World ghost stories for ClusterCon? Here is an advert we made using Canva. https://drive.google.com/file/d/1wEKPcL2zvwayGqLLr1N6Z_VcKtNQSVn6/view?usp=sharing

Below are some of its parts.

We removed the background for some bits, added a green filter for others, and we added music. The aesthetic is TV from the 70s/80s/90s, so this is at the newer end of the range.

Creating a Visitor Video - PART ONE

Join me while I create my own Visitor of the World contribution for ClusterCon 2!

PART ONE: Which ghost to write about?

I have a choice of four.

A hitchhiker ghost, two haunted castles and the UK's most haunted village!

"Red Clogs" by @alishenanigans2

Alison wrote a fab poem about the ghost which scared her the most when she was a child. We've added images. Watch it here.

What tales still haunt you? CC needs you to tell us all about them. (see Guidelines link) #LockwoodandCo.

Want to know more about:

Going on from #AVThinkingClothIdeas I thought I'd remind everyone many editions of #LockwoodandCo books have ghost descriptions in the back.

Poems or short "tales" can be made into videos (we can help).
