About Joanna MacGugan:
Joanna MacGugan, PhD, is a social historian and paranormal investigator. She has been fascinated with the paranormal since she experienced disembodied voices and footsteps in Edinburgh’s underground vaults in 2014. Her goal is to always seek the historical truth behind hauntings.
Joanna grew up in Chelmsford, Massachusetts; Stuttgart, Germany; and Huntingdonshire, England. Her European adventures fueled her passion for macabre history, especially cemeteries and burial culture. Her master’s research centered on early Celtic Otherworld mythology. For her PhD research, she turned to coroners and capital punishment in 14th-century Ireland. In 2023, she published her first book, Social Memory, Reputation and the Politics of Death in the Medieval Irish Lordship.
Joanna is now a full-time copy editor and independent scholar. Her current research projects focus on the haunted Oliver House in Middleborough, Massachusetts, and supernatural stories from records of the Salem Witch Trials.
