On today's episode, Genevieve will be discussing not one, but two of the most haunted Victorian homes in England: The Borley Rectory as well as a little unsuspecting cottage in Essex that was once known as The Cage of St. Osyth, which was once the site of a medieval witch prison. We will also learn exactly what happens when you die, according to a Spiritualist newspaper from the 1800s.
