''to be | [[File:Rivers Diary Weeping Angels Entry.JPG|thumb|Pages from River Song's diary.]] | ||
* River Song has files on the [[Weeping Angel]]s in [[River Song's diary|her diary]]. | |||
* River compares her journal to [[Book of the Weeping Angels|that]] written by [[Rastan Jovanich]]. The knowledge contained in the book drove him mad. Rastan was sent to the "terrible" [[sanatorium]] of [[Dispard]], never to be seen again. Rastan's journal survived, though barely readable, and is now in River's possession. | |||
* The Weeping Angels appear as [[statue]]s, but are not in fact [[angel]]s, nor made of [[stone]], at least not all the time. | |||
* One [[touch]] from a Weeping Angel sends their prey to the [[past]], consuming the energy of the [[life|lives]] they might have led. | |||
* The Weeping Angels are called as such since they cover their [[eye]]s as if they are [[crying]], doing so to prevent them from seeing each other. River notes that they are not [[sad]] for the suffering they cause. | |||
* The Weeping Angels use [[quantum-locking]] as a defense mechanism, to appear as statues whenever they are seen by any [[sentient]] being. | |||
* When not observed, the Weeping Angels can move fast enough to catch their prey in the [[blink]] of an [[eye]]. As such, one is advised not to blink. | |||
* One cannot be sure if a Weeping Angel is not just a statue, or if a statue is a Weeping Angel. | |||
* A Weeping Angel may be a statue anywhere, however old, broken or seemingly innocuous. | |||
* "Useful [[Spoiler]]s" for dealing with a Weeping Angel are to not turn one's back, not to look away, and to avoid blinking. | |||
* Rastan warns in his book: "that which holds the image of an Angel, becomes itself an Angel." As such, even the appearance of a Weeping Angel in a [[picture]] or on a [[television]] is dangerous. | |||
* [[Children]] know instinctively of the Weeping Angels, to the point of inventing [[playground]] games such as [[Grandmother's Footsteps]] to train themselves to escape them. River suggests this is why children are afraid of the [[dark]], as one cannot see the Weeping Angels there. | |||
* River notes that the Weeping Angels can turn out the [[light]]s. | |||

* Footage from [[TV]]: {{cs|The Time of Angels (TV story)}}, {{cs|Blink (TV story)}}, and {{cs|Flesh and Stone (TV story)}} is shown, as well as imagery from [[WC]]: {{cs|A Ghost Story for Christmas (webcast)}}, and new footage of [[River Song's diary]]. | |||

' | * Victims of the Weeping Angels include [[Kathy Nightingale]] and [[Billy Shipton]] from [[TV]]: {{cs|Blink (TV story)}} and [[Julia Hardwick]], as seen in [[WC]]: {{cs|A Ghost Story for Christmas (webcast)}}. | ||
* River consults [[Rastan Jovanich]]'s journal, first seen in [[TV]]: {{cs|The Time of Angels (TV story)}}. | |||
