The Boxtrolls: The Stinkiest Cheese in Cheesebridge got you incredible cred with me.
Ghosts of the tenement: a satirical cartoon from a 1901 edition of 'Puck'.

Two women are in black riding habits warily step in to a bedchamber. The haunting may be the rats on the other side of the bed.
Allegedly, 'A Visit to the Haunted Chamber' by William Frederick Yeames (1869) depicts Anne Boleyn's bedroom in Hever Castle.

I just want to drop everything and hang out in a haunted house with Podmore and Doyle now...
Elizabeth Boyer wrote a novel about Marguerite that I haven't read, I liked ISOLA very much, and I drew on Karolina Ramqvist's BEAR WOMAN quite a bit for my chapter. And of course it's not about Marguerite but everyone loves Marian Engel's BEAR :)
Yessssss thank you! And a signed copy from one of our favorite bookstores no less!
You can read the latest blog 'Dread, Shadows, and the Stories We Tell Ourselves… ' over on the website www.podpage.com/haunted-hist...

Okay, you win but you have to promise to quote me!
Nope, sorry Colin, this is my beat. (Adams is also on record noting that City Hall is haunted. These are the only two things he's ever said that made any sense.)

Good morning! AI is being force-fed to you by a handful of billionaires who will lose a bunch of money if they fail to convince you that you need it. You do not need it 🫶
Holiday Hot Take Number 2:
The Brits are wrong.
But only because, as a Christmas film scholar, my honest hot take is that you don't get to tell someone else what constitutes a Christmas film for them. If it's part of your Christmas tradition, it's a Christmas film.
Ghosts of Christmas Past is New York City's original Haunted Holiday walking tour and you can buy tickets on our website, right here: boroughsofthedead.com/tours/ghosts...
Are ghosts open source?
Reddit? Substack/Ghost? Who's the Robert Sietsema of travel right now? I cannot begin to wade through the thousands and thousands of bloggers and social media travel influencers and I imagine I am not alone in this feeling.
What's a traveler looking for recommendations to do these days? 90% of AI suggestions are non-existent, out of date, or inaccurate. You can't count on TripAdvisor, as they only push places that pay top commissions. There's almost no traditional media left. So where do folks go for real information?
Did women ruin the workplace? No! Did I personally ruin my own weekend writing about the cynical fuckery that led to the New York Times asking that question? I sure did!
Huge thanks to @moiradonegan.bsky.social for lending her expertise and insight to my ranting
We working class ghosts (and guides) are feeling hopeful about NYC today. High fives to our fellow gig workers, underpaid adjuncts, underemployed historians, and artists-working-three-jobs this morning.

For National Cat Day, my favorite kitty-Hollywood connection: 152 black cats (and their owners) auditioning for the title role in a film adaptation of Edgar Allan Poe’s “The Black Cat” (LIFE magazine, 1961).

A Lifelong Upper West Sider says: "I was excited by the prospect of an UWS ghost tour, but also apprehensive that it might just be a rehash of history and stories that I already know. I was pleasantly surprised to also learn many new spooky things about my neighborhood." This is HUGE praise.
Oh I love everything about this
