Ok, so this started out as just a rabbit hole for me, and then, in typical fashion, it's spiraled out of control and became a video. So please enjoy this ridiculous deep dive into the history myth of crinoline fires, and the really sad story of how Oscar Wilde's half-sisters (Mary & Emily) died from a tragic fire accident at a Halloween Party in 1871...

I haven't read this book, so I can't vouch for it, but it looks interesting: The Irish Coroner: Death, murder and politics in Co. Monaghan, 1846-78 by Michelle McGoff-McCann amzn.to/3PkQDdN (affiliate)
