The Fan Coven is officially available at myvictoriannightmare.com! And on this week’s episode, Genevieve will be discussing a particularly terrifying seance held in 1869, murderously presumed witchcraft, a deadly lesbian love affair, love-cracked raving lunatics, collapsing floors, revolting decapitations, and a lady who dressed up as a ghost and nearly scared someone else, and herself, to death. She will also explain why you don’t see caveman ghosts anymore and why rooms go cold when a spirit has arrived.
