A guide will share the fears of Victorians, from a time when new technology collided with old traditions, resulting in strange and macabre new traditions.
Audio installations of 19th century literature exploring these themes will be cast throughout the house and entice you to lean into the darkness.
Finally, make your way into the attic, and as you settle into the shadows, listen to a classic Victorian ghost story by candle light.
