Open Graves, Open Minds
The Open Graves, Open Minds Project began by unearthing depictions of the vampire and the undead in literature, art, and other media, then embraced werewolves (and representations of wolves and wild children), fairies, and other supernatural beings and their worlds. The Project extends to all narratives of the fantastic, the folkloric, and the magical, emphasising that sense of Gothic as enchantment rather than simply horror. Through this, OGOM is articulating an ethical Gothic, cultivating moral agency and creating empathy for the marginalised, monstrous or othered, including the disenchanted natural world.

    UNIQUE ZOOM TALK coming up this Wednesday 🙂 Discover my paranormal experiences on the world's most haunted ship, declared by Time Magazine as one of “America's Top 10 Most Haunted". A retired British ocean liner that sailed mainly on the North Atlantic Ocean from 1936 to 1967 for the Cunard-White Star Line (like the Titanic, although she was double its size), the RMS Queen Mary is now permanently moored in Long Beach California. I've had the pleasure on staying overnight on this beautiful historic transantlantic ship and was transported immediately back in time, experiencing plenty of paranormal activity on each stay. Join me to discover its ghost stories and the paranormal activity common to many of its overnight guests. INCLUDES QA DISCUSSION SESSION AND FURTHER READING AND LINKS. Don't miss it, book today! ...
