Joined Atlas Obscura in 2025

Hi. I’m the kind of person who doesn’t just visit a town — I ask what burned down, what’s buried, and why nobody talks about the old stairs that go nowhere. I’m drawn to forgotten places, odd traditions, roadside mysteries, accidental landmarks, and stories that feel too strange to be made up (but absolutely aren’t). If there’s a historical plaque that makes you say “wait… WHAT?”, I’m already taking photos. I believe every town has a secret personality, usually hiding behind a normal-looking building or a badly written sign. I’m here for the ghost stories, the weird food, the “you had to be there” moments, and the places locals stop noticing because they’re too busy living next to them. Basically: if it’s unusual, overlooked, slightly mysterious, or gloriously unnecessary — I want to know about it.
