Really enjoyed speaking at the Festival of the Unexplained this weekend, debunking all manner of mourning myths, from tearcatchers to teapots. Many Christmas lists were ruined. Fab experience though!

Getting visited by hordes of demonic pigs was an occupational hazard in the Middle Ages (BnF, Français 50, f. 256v, Vincent of Beauvais' Le Mirouer historial)

Tonight in Lincoln! Tickets still available, hope to see you there!

'Spirited Skeptics' was a great talk last night at Lincoln Book Festival by Chris French 🇺🇦, Callum E. Cooper and Dr Kate Cherrell all about paranormal experiences, why we have them and what value they hold to us 👻👻👻

One of many fun things I haven’t had time to share recently! All About History's latest bookazine ‘Guide to Cryptids’ is out now! This was a lot of fun to work on, and covers a great breath of weird and wonderful beasties.

Really looking forward to this! The interwar period is such a fascinating time in the development of spiritualist belief. (Also, plenty of scandal!)

Today’s charity shop bargain, The Dark Side of History by Michael Edwardes, which apparently ‘reveals the role that secret societies, superstition, divination and the occult played in the shaping of history’. It’ll be enjoyed imminently with a cuppa and non-occult biscuits.
