Episode Ep. 93 - The Wraiths of St. Mark’s Eve & Cursed Victorian Objects
On today’s episode, Genevieve will discuss the terrifying Victorian St. Mark’s Eve practice of waiting for wraiths (the ghosts of future dead people) to reveal themselves and walk through church doors at midnight. She will also discuss haunted and cursed objects like the Delhi Purple Sapphire, The Conjured Chest and the lost Franklin Exhibition-inspired painting, “Man Proposes, God Disposes.”
