localities on the coast

The dark pagan South

Is the coast more haunted than inland.?

I live on the coast, and i often wonder if some of that 

sense of desolation off the sea rubs off on you.

I feel a little like the elderly professor holidaying

on the coast, in "Oh Whistle and I'll Come to you, My Lad!"

It doesn't need to be the windswept Essex  or Norfolk coasts

for that wild ocean spirit of isolation and being overwhelmed 

by the elements to get the better of you.

West Sussex sea

Well, its my conjecture that South of the Downs is a land of awful mystical 

and yes deadly primitive energy of the powerful and merciless sea, and primeordial throwbacks into spiritual prehistory,

which has embedded itself into our very souls.

Ancient, pagan, primitive and basically amoral, 

by which i mean it has no regard for human life whatsoever.

Something so primal and monstrous thst it defies description.

So i'll cherrypick a few primitive examples of the darksome, dire 

historic primalness of the place, over days to come.

The realm of sea landings and shsdowy history of 

the British, between The Pevensey Landings, 

and Nelson's setting off for Trafalgar.

Which gives you some idea of the area in question.
