  • Ep. 60 - Scenes at the Haunts of the Haunted
    On today's episode, Genevieve will have a series of mysterious and tragic murders in the southwest, men frozen to death, dogs playing with dead bodies in basements, nose pullers, lost wigs, and highly inappropriate sarcasm regarding incredibly violent vigilante justice. We'll also have a haunted house in 1878 with too many skeletons buried in the basement to know who's who.

About My Victorian Nightmare

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 grisly 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. To listen ad-free, visit myvictoriannightmare.com and join my Patreon.
