Meet the Spooky Folklorist
Jacob Rice is the paranormal documentarian and folklorist behind Ghostly Activities.
He documents ghost stories, haunted places, supernatural beliefs, urban legends, and paranormal experiences through writing, audio, video, historical research, and field investigation.
His work often begins with a simple question: What is the story behind the haunting?
That can lead into old newspapers and archives, local folklore, witness accounts, forgotten history, field investigations, interviews, or nights spent wandering through supposedly haunted buildings with cameras and audio recorders.
Jacob is especially interested in the point where history and folklore meet: how real places become haunted places, how ghost stories change as they are retold, and why certain legends refuse to disappear.
He does not claim to have solved the mystery of ghosts. He just thinks the mystery — and the stories surrounding it — are worth documenting.
