About this episode

This episode explores the Victorian fascination with ghosts and includes two ghost stories.

The Victorian era was an age of strict manners, rapid change… and an enduring fascination with ghosts. Let's step into the candlelit parlour to explore why the Victorians were so drawn to the unseen, and how death, belief, and storytelling blurred the line between this world and the next. Then, we’ll gather for two quiet Victorian-style ghost stories, followed by a Message from the Spirits that could be specifically for you! Lower the lights.The ghosts are waiting.
