Joined Atlas Obscura in 2019

Jadewik is a 30-something Civil Engineer who dabbles in a little of everything. She currently resides in Arizona with her husband and two kids. In her spare time, Jadewik enjoys sewing, drawing, travel, photography, gardening, writing, and playing the piano. This “Jade”-of-all-Trades became interested in the paranormal by reading ghost stories. While she loves a good spooky story, she tries to remain skeptical of most aspects of the paranormal. She also loves Halloween– sometimes planning Halloween themes years in advance– and visiting supposedly haunted locations. If you know of a haunted location or any interesting or quirky stories that you’d like Jadewik to write about, please leave a comment and she will see about writing it up.
