I’ve been teaching at local co-ops for three years and have shadowed teachers the same amount of time. I’ve also been teaching these classes over zoom for three years.
Has a couple of creepy stories about being buried alive, but I don’t go into a massive amount of detail.
I read many books on topics taught as well as utilize web sites to cross reference. Books used to research this class include the incredible Momento Mori: The Dead Among Us by Paul Koundounaris, Signals from the Safety Coffin by John Engles, and the Apparitionist: A Tale of Phantoms, Frauds, and Photography by Peter Manseau. Websites used are history.com, Britannica.com, and Smithsonian.com.
