Had such fun sharing my spooky research today at the Spooky History conference! There is nothing spookier, after all, than being chronically ill 🤣

Also a fantastic paper from @ornamh.bsky.social too on the Paris Catacombs, so fascinating! ☠️

I had the best time presenting my paper at @spookyhist.bsky.social today!

Thank you Elizabeth and Holly for chairing, I had the best time 💕

Also, a big congratulations to @19thcenturyem.bsky.social for her paper on Vampirism and Chronic Illness, it was fascinating ✨
Rounding out our panel is Orna Murphy-Horton, with a paper about the Paris catacombs becoming a place of entertainment 💀
