It is not hard to find ghost stories and accounts from people reporting paranormal activity from areas that lie deeper underground. These were often dangerous locations to work in and notorious for accidents and tragedy. They were also notorious for superstition and folklore.
In today's episode we explore some of the haunting stories that have grown from deep below the surface of the earth- something that often shaped the lives and experiences of the people who survived in these conditions.
Thank you for listening.
If you want to get your hands on The Feminine Macabre Volume I, II or III then make sure to take a look at https://spookeats.com/femininemacabre/ or via Amazon. You can explore my chapter titled, 'In Search of the Medieval' in Volume III.

Haunting Tales of a Victorian Crime- The Ghost of Fanny Adams
Alton in Hampshire, England, is home to a particular tragic and haunting story. A story that captured newspapers and imaginations at the time and would go on to create macabre words and phrases that are still used today but for whom few know the dark, etymological root.
In today's episode we step back into 1867 to explore a haunting Victorian crime that devastated a community- shadows of which may still be present today.
As always, thank you for listening.
