hat more you could you want from Halloween? An atmospheric old cottage on the edge of a churchyard and an enigmatic resident? Hints of black magic and a ghostly sighting? How about all five in one story? This is, of course, the famed ‘Exorcist’s House’ in King’s Lynn (above) and it’s a location shrouded in mystery, as Alison Gifford details on page 22 of this month’s magazine. It’s a fascinating story, and you shouldn’t miss Michael Middleton’s page this month either, which sheds new light on the history of the building’s most (in)famous resident in a truly illuminating postscript. It’s not all about ghosts and pumpkins this month, though. Strictly Come Dancing has become a staple of autumn entertainment for the last 12 years, and hot-footed its way back to our television screens last month. However, long before Strictly, Peggy Spencer was a household name around the country for her lifelong dedication to the world of dance (she was even originally offered the chance to present Strictly Come Dancing herself), and you can read Clare Bee’s account of her ballroom-based life on page 52. From icon of the dancefloor to the poster girl of a generation, as Georgia May Foote prepares to step into the shoes of Audrey Hepburn in the classic role of Holly Golightly with a sparkling (naturally!) production of Breakfast at Tiffany’s at the Theatre Royal in Norwich next month. Georgia took some time out from her busy rehearsal schedule to talk with John Bultitude about the new show, and you can read all about her preparations on page 8. From globe-trotting cameramen to best-selling crime writers, and from falconers to photojournalists, we assembled a fantastic cast of inspirational characters for you to meet this month, so with no further ado, let the curtain rise! Enjoy the magazine! KL MAGAZINE
