  • Summary

  • Grab your lantern and prepare for a chilling stroll - through some of the spookiest ghost stories from the Victorian era! In this episode, we’re digging into the Illustrated Police News, the infamous tabloid that fed the public’s appetite for gruesome crimes and spooky stories. Victorian England was obsessed with the supernatural, and the Illustrated Police News knew how to serve up some seriously spine-tingling ghost stories. From haunted houses to vengeful spirits, we’ll explore the eerie tales that had Victorians clutching their pearls (and probably sleeping with the candles lit). But was the ghost just a guy all along, or did people really believe they were being haunted by the other side? Tune in to find out!
