the winnow

[id: a black-and-white image of a flowchart. the title reads “is the house haunted?” above an image of a two-story house with a covered porch. the image gives the appearance of having been photocopied. underneath are a series of four boxes, vertically connected by arrows. they read, “well, see / the thing is / if we tell you / then you might not go in.” /end id]

“[…] the weird is a particular kind of perturbation. It involves a sensation of wrongness; a weird entity or object is so strange that it makes us feel that it should not exist, or at least it should not exist here. Yet if the entity or object is here, then the categories which we have up until now used to make sense of the world cannot be valid." Mark Fisher - The Weird and the Eerie
