| 0:00.0 | Hey, it's Kristen, and I'm popping into your feed on a Monday because I want to introduce you to a show that I think you're going to love called My Victorian Nightmare, a show hosted by Genevieve Mannion. |
| 0:11.9 | My Victorian Nightmare takes you into the dark corners of the 19th century, where true crime, morbid fascination, and forgotten history intertwine. |
| 0:21.8 | So if you're looking for something true crime adjacent and love history, this show is perfect for you. The Victorian era |
| 0:28.2 | is often remembered for its elegance, candlelit parlors, florography, and the promise of progress. |
| 0:35.7 | But beneath that polished surface was a world filled with dread, |
| 0:39.8 | macab obsession, superstition, and violence. Newspapers ran stories of grisly murders, |
| 0:45.9 | mysterious disappearances, and scandals that captured the public's imagination. And My |
| 0:51.1 | Victorian Nightmare captures these darker stories in vivid detail. |
| 0:55.5 | Every episode uncovers a real event, person, or mystery from the Victorian age. |
| 1:00.9 | And just like murder she told, these cases are plucked from the archives, using old newspapers, |
| 1:05.7 | court records, and historical accounts. |
| 1:08.3 | I love a good historical deep dive, and this show checks that box off perfectly. |

| 1:18.5 | understanding what people feared, what they believed, and how society grappled with the unknown. |
| 1:23.7 | So if you like true crime, historical mysteries and stories that reveal the unsettling side of the past, |
| 1:29.8 | Genevieve will take you there. I want to share a clip from her recent episode on the Meeks family murders, |
| 1:35.4 | a tragic massacre of a family in 1894. The killers tried to erase the entire family and they thought they had, |
| 1:43.2 | but after burying them all, one of them crawled their |
| 1:46.4 | way out. And you'll be shocked to find out who it was that survived to tell the tale and ensure |
| 1:52.2 | that the killers were caught. You can find My Victorian Nightmare wherever you're listening |
| 1:57.4 | right now. I hope you enjoy. Let's discuss the Meeks family murders of |
| 2:03.9 | 1894. This is one of the most horrifying murder cases I have ever read about, mostly because the |
