Hi friends, a small favour:

If you haven't already, please show my @tempusfugithistory.bsky.social profile a little love. Once my website is up and running, I'll be posting mostly there.

If you already follow, thank you! I appreciate the support ❤️💀

Great day, yesterday. I have to return because my guy is in an unmarked public grave (along with 13 other people unknown to him in life), hence not being able to find the precise spot immediately. We also visited the pet cemetery, which was very poignant. The place is in full bloom. Good times.

Going on a very exciting research trip to the wonderful #IslingtonStPancrasCemetery tomorrow. It's been an age since I visited and I can't wait. Here are some photos from the last time I visited.

Can't say I'm enamoured with the gardening tips reported in The Nonconformist and Independent (02 September 1880) 🤪

Careful ladies, we've got ourselves a #scammer and not a very creative one at that (the US military? Really mate? 🤦🏼‍♀️).

Block this cretin if he befriends you.

Evening gang,

I'm leading my first tour of 2025 for the #NationalFuneralMuseum next week which IMHO has the finest collection of funerary and mourning paraphernalia in the UK. And the library is to die for ⚰️

This is a private tour but do contact the Museum directly to book in the future!

Hi gang,

I'm thrilled to have been involved as a historical researcher in this new episode of Haunted Homecoming with Jonathan Ross and Paranormal Investigator @katecherrell.bsky.social.

The show drops on 20/12 on Really and discovery+! Join us 👻

My new deathly tour guiding company, Tempus Fugit Tours, is now up and running. I'll be offering guided walks and talks focusing (initially) on select cemeteries and burial grounds, body snatching and plague pits.

Further details to follow. Happy All Saints Day, one and all ☠️❤️

The National Centre for Circus Arts (N1). Yes, it exists (there were 17 people in that car, I'll have you know 🤡🤪)

Did you know that, at some time or another, you've walked over one of London's many mass graves?

I'm researching my #plague pit tour of East London and the speed that it hit the city is terrifying ⌛️☠️

Details of the tour to follow soon.
