I had a smashing old time at Weird Weekend North last weekend - thanks to all who listened and nattered afterwards about the wonderful world of celebrity afterlives. While I’m heartbroken not to witness the horrors of lard-eating, excellent company largely made up for it.

Had a smashing time talking all things celebrity seance at the London Fortean Society last night!

Great to be at @forteanlondon.bsky.social listening to @katecherrell.bsky.social talking about the history of celebrity séances.

I have an article about my favourite 1970s crime fighting psychics in the newest issue of Fortean Times. Alas, it pales in comparison to mucky Bigfoot content, but hopefully it’s a solid accompaniment! #forteantimes #paranormal

A thread of interesting examples of pauper/low-income grave markers I have found on my travels 🪦 I'll begin with these beautiful cast iron markers 🪦 📍 St Mary's Church • Whitchurch ⛪️ #Wales #History
