This is a fantastically creepy and fascinating podcast. I've enjoyed every episode, which I have been binging since I found the podcast a few days ago. I highly recommend it.

Just started this podcast yesterday after getting a recommendation from the Morbid podcast, already finished all episodes--LOVE it! Historic horrors, esp from the Victorian era is so fascinating. Lovely voice too, very easy to listen to! 😊

Description

Here you’ll find mysterious deaths, morbid fascinations, disturbing stories, and otherwise spooky events from the Victorian Era. If you consider yourself an enthusiast of creepy Victorian history, you probably already know about the age of spiritualism, the grizzly murders, the grave robbers, twisted pseudo psychotherapy, and memento mori – But I try to dig a little deeper. This was a time full of lace corsetry, romantic poetry, and a deep reverence and affection for the dead. It was a culture of shared sorrow, ornament and elegance, prudishness and scandal, bone chilling children’s stories, and for whatever reason, I just feel at home there. There’s something strangely comforting about the heebie jeebies this era gives me. If you find yourself equally enchanted by things that most people would find horrifying, this podcast is probably for you. Join the community Instagram @myvictoriannightmare
