Encountering Mister Carcosa

Mister Carcosa, much like the Slender Man, is an emergent folklore phantasm. Supposed encounters and rumours play a part in building up the narrative structure that supports and forms the creature. Initially, the sinister figure, had no name/identification. Depending on the accounts, his appearance varies from the typical Men in Black to Tall-man ~ Slender Man physique and garments. A few accounts, report Mister Carcosa struggling to hold on to his form, and hurrying off. Sightings of large owl like creatures (similar to The Mothman) flying near where Carcosa had appeared were reported.

Wessex Tales by Thomas Hardy
I've been dipping into Hardy's short stories. His use of irony and coincidence/Fate(Weird) together with the suggestion of the supernatural or referring to folklore can produce stories fit for Halloween.
#TheThreeStrangers and #TheWitheredArm are good examples.
