Grave Obsessions: Vampires, Ghosts, and Death Ritual in the Victorian Scene
Join us as we venture into the macabre world that was Victorian burial culture: skulls and angels in cemeteries, seances and ouija boards in parlors.
Victorians were not only obsessed over death —they capitalized on it!
We’ll investigate a number of English, American, and specifically Maryland customs to answer your most grave questions. How does one become a ghost? Why are vampires so obsessed with hygiene? Can one really contact the dead? And what is up with all that hair? And much more!
This is the premier of an original program by Zoe Copeman and Rissa Miller. Join us in the darkness on World Goth Day! This program is expected to sell out.
