FAQ'S

What is Imperidox?

Imperidox explores the world’s curious history through strange places, forgotten stories, and human oddities that reveal the weirder side of the past. It is part travel, part storytelling, and entirely driven by curiosity.

Who is behind Imperidox?

Imperidox is created by historian and storyteller James Vincent, whose work delves into the intersections of history, myth, and the absurd. Every story is researched, written, and curated by him.

Are the stories historically accurate?

Yes. Every story is grounded in verified historical sources, museum archives, and on-location research whenever possible. Folklore and rumour are explored too, not as fact but as part of how history remembers itself.

Do you visit every location yourself?

Whenever possible. Many stories are based on first-hand exploration, photography, and local research. Others draw from extensive historical records when travel is not feasible.

Can I suggest a story or place?

Absolutely. Imperidox thrives on curiosity and suggestions are always welcome. You can get in touch through the contact page or on social media to share a story, rumour, or hidden spot worth exploring.

How can I support Imperidox?
