Marie Carter is a writer, tour guide, and tour guide developer. Her Scottish upbringing is responsible for her fascination with macabre, strange, forgotten, and ghostly histories. Combining that with her passion for New York City, she became a licensed tour guide, as well as researcher and developer with Boroughs of the Dead over nine years ago.
Her most recent book, Mortimer and the Witches: A History of 19th-Century Fortune Tellers, was released this year and that’s what we talk about on this episode along with 19th century NYC dealings with death, spiritualism, fortune tellers, Mortimer’s Thomson’s obsession to bring these “witches” down, NYC cemeteries, The General Slocum Disaster, super cool ghost tours at Boroughs of the Dead AND Roosevelt Island’s dark history.
