Hello and welcome to my Victorian nightmare. I'm your host, Genevieve Mannion,

and I'm here to talk about mysterious deaths, morbid fascinations, disturbing stories, and otherwise spooky events from the Victorian era.

Because to me, there's just something especially intriguing,

creepy, and oddly comforting about horror and mayhem from the 19th century. So, listener discretion

is advised.

Hello, friends, and welcome to this my 86th episode.

I hope that you are being extra kind to yourselves lately.

Giving yourself all of the grace, eating whatever you want to eat,

watching your favorite horror comfort movies on repeat. I think we all deserve a break. I really hope that you're giving one to yourself.

Today for you, dear listener, I have a creepy, spooky, hodgepodge episode. I'm going to discuss

not one, not two, but three different topics

that are all creepy for different reasons. The Kentucky Meat Shower of 1876, the Dag Family

Poultergeist of 1889. And what was up with 1837's most terrifying public menace? Spring Healed Jack.
