Laura Holliday is a freelance journalist based in the UK. Her work primarily covers the online world, especially lost media, digital aesthetics and internet folklore, and her reporting has appeared in Vice, Dazed, and The Daily Beast, as well as various indie mags. 

In April 2024, she was interviewed for the Something Offbeat podcast about lostwave — ghost songs that nobody can identify, after a formerly unidentified song she wrote about ('Ulterior Motives') was discovered in a 1980s NSFW movie. She hopes to write more about lost media in 2025 — charting the discoveries of some of the most notable and unravelling why we're so drawn to uncovering internet mysteries at the moment. 

Her research and writing has also appeared on YouTube — including for internet detective and analog horror enthusiast Nexpo and his audience of 3.5 million subscribers. 

Laura's fave things include: classic Tomb Raider, JRPGs, liminal spaces, sad and whiney indie music, the TV show Lost, urban exploring, iced coffee and her cat. If she could describe herself in one word it would be: UNLOCK.
