Rissa Miller

Who is Rissa Miller?

I am a folklorist, author, herbalist, and public speaker specializing in esoteric history—the things people either fear or are fascinated by, like the paranormal and regional legends. I conduct research and give presentation-based talks on monsters, ghosts, witchcraft, divination, death culture, superstition, and lore for libraries, museums, conferences, and media audiences.

My work provides clarity and cultural context to subjects that are often misunderstood or sensationalized. My approach is practical and accessible to both skeptical and spiritually curious audiences. I explore why these traditions have lasted for centuries and what they reveal about our beliefs, fears, identity, and the human quest for meaning.

And on the topic at hand, the B.I.T.C.H, I won’t deny, I’ve been called a bitch many times. It'll happen again. And I'm totally fine with it. In fact, there are times that I've actually said thank you.
