Spread the love

In this episode, I delve into the Victorian tradition of storytelling and what caused those who lived during the time period to be so entranced by the practice of telling ghost stories. 

Huge thanks to those who sent messages of condolence and supported me during the last little while. You know who you are and you are loved and appreciated.
