Welcome back to the Ghost Bunny podcast. I'm your host, Bridget Marker, with a brand new episode for you.

My guest today is Dr. Elizabeth Yucco. Dr. Yucco is an award-winning journalist and bioethicist and an adjunct professor of ethics and Fordham University.

She has been published in Rolling Stone, The New York Times, the Washington Post, the Atlantic, CNN,

the History Channel, Teen Vogue, Playboy, Architectural Digest, the Wall Street Journal, City Lab, Dwell,

Health, Readers Digest, CNBC, Miss Magazine, and Vulture, among others.

Yucco has also appeared on the Travel Channel shows Mysteries at the Museum and Beyond the Unknown,

discussing the history of medical quackery and Blood Falls Antarctica.

And she gave its head ex talk on bioethics and the Golden Girls.

She regularly gives talks and presentations on various history topics at venues,

including the Morbid Anatomy Museum, RIP,

the Harriet Beecher Stowe House in Cincinnati, the Lloyd Library and Museum in Cincinnati,

and the Juliette Gordon-Lowe Birthplace and Museum in Savannah.

I've been dying to talk to her, and especially for this time of year,

and you're about to find out why, and it's finally time.

Elizabeth, thank you so much for doing the show today.

Thank you for having me.

And one of the things that I'm kind of obsessed with are Victorian ghost stories and why they used to be

kind of a Christmas tradition and they are no longer a Christmas tradition. I wish they were. Maybe I'll

start making them a part of my Christmas tradition. But I started doing a little bit of research online to try and

figure this out or find some of these ghost stories.
