Hi, I’m Jennifer Jones. I’ve had a lifelong fascination with the paranormal. I spent years as a paranormal investigator, and somewhere along the way I figured out that understanding the real history behind a location changed everything about how I approached it. So I started digging. Thirteen years later, The Dead History is what that digging looks like.

TDH covers haunted places, urban legends, historic true crime, and unexplained phenomena. The through line is always the same: go back to the primary sources, find out what actually happened, and pay attention to the people who got flattened, misrepresented, or just plain forgotten in the version everyone repeats. The receipts matter here.

My research has been used as a primary source for television and by paranormal historians and researchers. I’m a published author and a two-time speaker at the Haunted America Conference. My AuDHD brain is wired for pattern recognition and deep dives, which turns out to be exactly the right equipment for this kind of work. I’m not just interested in what happened. I want to know who these people were, what their lives looked like, and how they ended up as a footnote in someone else’s ghost story.

Thirteen years of research and only some of it is in the TDH archive. I’m working on increasing that every day. Start wherever the story finds you.
