Laura Holliday is a freelance journalist and investigator based in the East Midlands, UK. Her work primarily explores the online world, especially where this intersects with the strange, dark or esoteric — including internet mysteries, lost media and digital true crime. Her reporting has appeared in Wired, Dazed, Vice and The Daily Dot, as well as various indie mags both digitally and in print. 

Since 2024 she has been a researcher and scriptwriter for documentaries and video essays. She has worked with YouTubers including Nexpo (3.85 million subscribers), Scary Interesting (1.98M subs) and Izzzyzzz (1.14M subs). She has also been interviewed on the podcast Something Offbeat about lostwave — unidentified songs that haunt the internet. 

Outside of work, Laura's favourite things include: classic Tomb Raider, iced coffee, road trips, city wanderings, puzzle box TV shows (especially Severance and Lost), film photography, indie/art rock and hanging out with her cat. If she could describe herself in one word, it would be: UNLOCK.
