(Listening to me prattle on about sad Victorians is EXACTLY how you should be spending Valentine's Day.)

Tomorrow I'm speaking at the Society of Ink Slingers event, 'Writing the Occult: Love and Death'. I'll be talking about victorian mourning and dispelling a few persistent myths. It's an online full-day event of amazing speakers/writers, so do check it out.

A text-heavy graphic features the session details as seen in this threaded post. It also has a photo of Kate Cherrell at the right, along with an inset image of Victorian "tear catchers".

The Victorians are renowned for their obsession with death, inspired by Queen Victoria's long mourning for Prince Albert. That's also a topic close to @katecherrell.bsky.social's heart. She'll bring that expertise to Writing the Occult: Love & Death NEXT SATURDAY. Expect some bustin' of myths. 🧵⬇️

Here I am mid-investigation for this week’s #Uncanny episode, Case 7: The Magnet😱🧲

What do you make of this theory? And which theory from our experts @katecherrell.bsky.social and Professor Cal Cooper did you find most compelling? Listen to Case 7 on BBC Sounds or wherever you get your podcasts!

Uncanny - Series 5 - Case 7: The Magnet - BBC Sounds Strange phenomena seems to follow a young solicitor. Can a person be haunted?

Un-chill your frozen eyelids with this spectral winter warmer. In the forthcoming issue of Haunted Magazine, I take a look at a curious spiritualist court case from yesteryear, where felt-tip scribbles landed some mediums in court.

Huge thanks to all who came out to my ‘Short History of Celebrity Seancés’ talk as part of the London Month of the Dead programme. It was such a joy to be invited to speak, and in Guy’s Hospital Chapel no less! Mulled punch and Elvis’ afterlife - can’t beat it! ✨

While spending most of my day at Kensal Green cemetery I managed to read @katecherrell.bsky.social pamphlet on her early short fiction, inspired by Franz Kafka's The Metamorphosis, and each story was brilliant.

Enormous thanks to all who braved the weather to support 'Fantastic Folklore' at Lincoln Book Festival! It was such a joy to interview Fiona Robertson, Icy Sedgwick, and Richard Daniels and I left with a far greater appreciation of stones, gloves and vampire rabbits.

People of Louth and its environs! John Ashbrook and I will be leading an evening of folk horror and dark fantasy storytelling on Saturday 4th October as part of Louth's Zero Degrees festival! Free entry, I'll bring the cryptids and ancient evil, you bring your lovely selves. 👻

Anna Maria Von Stockhausen: The Undead Witch of Germany The appeal of Anna Maria Von Stockhausen’s image is a curious, gruesome urge to look at the forbidden.

I tried tackling one of the internet's most enduring tales of terror - the story of the undead witch, Anna Maria von Stockhausen.
A real tale of an evil woman who kept coming back, or a myth of the internet age?
