Based in Newcastle upon Tyne, Icy Sedgwick is a folklorist and author who explores the intersection of history, film theory, and the supernatural. She hosts the weekly podcast Fabulous Folklore, where she translates complex academic research into accessible narratives covering topics from urban legends to the Victorian language of flowers. Her expertise is supported by a PhD in Film Studies focused on haunted house cinema, an analytical lens she applies to her non-fiction titles, Rebel Folklore and Ghostlore. Sedgwick frequently partners with cultural institutions to highlight historical exhibitions, notably documenting the Ramses and the Pharaoh’s Gold exhibition at Battersea Power Station. Her recent Folklore and the Arts series demonstrates her ability to curate audience-led inquiries into cursed objects and haunted portraits. Through site-specific reporting at locations like the London Underground and Wallington Hall, she connects industrial history with oral tradition, providing depth for brand partners in the travel, publishing, and heritage sectors.
