On today’s episode, Genevieve will discuss women buried in wedding dresses, dismembered bodies in trunks, shawl disputes leading to knife attacks, a death by kicking written in flabbergasting detail, and a lady blitzed out of her bloomers on laughing gas, attempting all manner of gymnastics for an adoring crowd. She will also discuss Spiritualist philosophy of the 1800s and a family’s terrifying ghost encounter.
