Goodnight from Sadie Clemens, wondering if she’ll have the dream where she’s a crow with a beakful of corpse-flesh again. Goodnight from Joshua Hand, failing to disguise his voice while phoning in a bomb warning on behalf of the Ghost Preservation Society. Goodnight from Hookland

Thank you so much for joining us Jac, your research is so fascinating and your paper was brilliant, we could have talked to you all day!!
It was an absolute delight to present and take questions from @HauntedFutures on the subject of haunting, hegemony and anti-fascism. Thank you so much! 👻
