My Victorian Nightmare

Ep. 48 - A Corpse Sent to a Candy Maker


Listen Later

On today’s episode, Genevieve will discuss a family that is a complete disaster, the absurdities of hypnosis, a hatchet murder, a man who luckily couldn’t quite properly operate a firearm, utter pandemonium at a spiritualist lecture, a corpse sent to a candy maker, a man frozen to a boat, yet another man killed by a coffin, and the single worst death ever discussed on any show up until today, hands down. Nothing comes close. Consider yourselves warned.
