Word of the #FolkloreThursday: “uncanny” - of a landscape, person, encounter, object; unsettlingly dissonant, frightening yet familiar. Freud’s word for this was “unheimlich”—meaning, appropriately eerily, at once both “homely” & “unhomely”. (Edward Burra, Cherry Trees, 1962–63) (via @RobGMacfarlane)
