    Step into the shadows with Rob and special guest Leon McAnally, author of A Guide to Dark Attractions in the UK, as Dark History uncovers the haunting beauty of London’s Magnificent Seven cemeteries. These sprawling Victorian graveyards weren’t just built to house the dead – they tell the story of a city grappling with mortality, superstition, and the macabre.

    In this episode, we’ll explore the eerie legacy of these monumental resting places while diving deep into the evolution of funerary rites across history. From the ancient Egyptians’ elaborate mummification rituals to the solemn burials of medieval Europe, we’ll trace how humanity’s relationship with death has shifted over time. Discover how beliefs in the afterlife, fear of the unknown, and society’s fascination with the macabre shaped these traditions – and how they culminated in the Victorian obsession with mourning, memorials, and grand cemeteries.

    But that’s not all. We will also delve into the chilling ghost stories tied to these cemeteries. From eerie apparitions in Highgate to spectral sightings in Brompton, do the souls buried here really rest in peace, or do they still wander the pathways at night?

    Join us as we unravel the hidden funerary rites that shaped these graveyards, explore the ghostly tales passed down through generations, and unlock the secrets these cemeteries still keep. Don’t miss this darkly fascinating journey with Leon McAnally, an expert in all things macabre.
