Description

Bones tell stories. Trauma leaves a record. Folklore teaches us what humans fear and what we’ve survived. I’m Ki Roberts, a forensic anthropology student and dark-academia storyteller exploring the strange, scientific, and sometimes haunting intersections between death, history, trauma, and meaning. Join me for candlelit deep-dives into skeletal mysteries, weird anthropology, ancient violence, ghost lore, and the forensic truths buried beneath sensational myths. Field Notes from the Dead is where science meets storytelling and where the past refuses to stay silent.
