The view of St Agnes from the cliffs that tower above it, & which are dotted with the shafts of disused tin mines. This is a literally haunted landscape: the miners believed warnings of disaster would be given them by ghosts who dwelt in the mines.

But not all were benign... Image
Polbreen Mine, haunted by the ghost of a girl called Dorcas, who threw herself down a mineshaft, & then, as a disembodied voice, tormented miners by calling out to them by name. Image
“It is states as an incontrovertible fact, that more than one man who has met the spirit in the levels of the mine has had his clothes torn off his back” - Robert Hunt (1865) #Dorcas #StAgnes

1. Let me drop my views about #Suicide.
Personally, I feel hurt whenever I hear or read about it. What comes to my heart is that "something is not right somewhere". And that "something need to be done". However, I'm sure the victim can overcome it. #Suicide
2. But what exactly is #Suicide? What is it all about? "Suicide simply means taking one's life intentionally." Of course, there are factors that leads to it. Such as depression, disappointments, sickness, loss of job, hopelessness and some related factors. #Suicide
3. There are other psychological factors too that can lead to #Suicide. But I have to say this, no matter the factor in which one is being entangled with, such can surly overcome. Taking one's life shouldn't be an option. #Suicide
