Author: Diana Doty

Besides co-hosting the funniest first-hand ghost story podcast ever, Diana enjoys learning new languages, reading about science, eating adventurously, and travelling uncomfortably. She hosts soirees where she dazzles guests with exotic fruits, trashy goth music from the 90's, and filthy-yet-intellectual party games. Although she has 2 advanced degrees, she works hard to be the opposite of bougie: she lives in a van down by the river (occasionally), shops at thrift stores (mostly), and eats bugs (somewhat intentionally). She thinks the world could be much improved by eliminating single-use plastics and squirrels. Having inherited both a logical skepticism from her Vulcan mathematician father and a willingness to believe anything from her fairy energy healer mother, Diana doesn't know exactly what she believes about ghosts, and is ok with that.
