After years of debating a sequel to Queer Hauntings—tackling further revelations and ownership changes effecting many locations contained within it—a new book project emerged from the depths of the strangest research in April of 2018. Why limit an overview of LGBTQ+ paranormal studies of the past and present to ghost stories and haunted places? After years of delays, this much-anticipated book is almost ready.
Weirdly Queer is a narrative examination of the lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer sexual minorities found throughout the long history of fringe research into unexplained phenomena. From the foundations of the Society for Psychical Research and sexually-charged Spiritualist mediums to lesbian alien abductee reports, sodomizing cryptids, and queer Hippie witches, the truly queer stories of our puzzling, profound, and amazing world have hidden in plain view, waiting to be retold. This trailblazing journey uncovers a world where genders stretch beyond the confines of biology and the real monsters are buried in the closets of humankind’s darker side.
Can repressed sexuality result in poltergeist phenomena? Are there correlations between psychokinesis and sexual orientation? Are queer hauntings hidden within ghost folklore over the centuries? I’m on the hunt for the answers. If you’re an LGBTQ+ person with a story, a researcher with unusual data, or a historian with a lead on a hidden tale, I’d love to hear from you.
