EP50: A Very Haunted Victorian Christmas

This week, Tim and Luis dim the lights, gather ’round the tree, and slip back into a time when Christmas meant ghost stories by the fire. We explore three chilling Victorian tales: The Legend of the Mistletoe Bride, the eerie disappearance that became a centuries-old haunting; Whistle, and I’ll Come to You, a masterclass in isolation and dread; and Horror: A True Tale, a lesser-known but deeply unsettling account of spectral visitations.

We dig into why Victorians loved sharing ghost stories during the holidays, how these tales reflected the era’s anxieties, and why they still hold up as winter chill-setters today. Cozy up this is Christmas because we're telling stories the old-fashioned way: candlelight, cold winds, and things that knock at the door after midnight.
