Joined Atlas Obscura in 2019

I live in San Francisco and write Here Lies a Story - a website, Instagram, and newsletter dedicated to exploring the California Gothic. At HLAS, I explore buried history, folk stories, urban legends, and the dark underbelly of California and the US. If you have ghost stories, cool cemetery tips, weird urban legends, or deep history takes, hit me up! @here_lies_a_story 💀
