The Forgotten Ghost Story Hidden in a Victorian Women's Magazine (1860)

Tonight, we uncover A Musical Mystery, a forgotten Victorian ghost story first published anonymously in 1860, in The Englishwoman's Domestic Magazine. Best known for its articles on fashion, household management, and domestic life, the magazine was founded by Samuel Orchart Beeton, husband of the famous Mrs Beeton, whose Book of Household Management appeared the following year. Yet among its pages, Victorian readers could also discover strange and unsettling tales such as this one. 00:00 - Introduction 01:09 - A Musical Mystery by Anonymous (1860) - Victorian Short Story 24:58 - Thank you If you enjoy forgotten Victorian ghost stories, Gothic literature, and supernatural tales from the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, consider subscribing to **The Old Ink Society**, where we rediscover stories that deserve to be heard again. ☕️ If you'd like to support the Society, you can also use *Super Thanks* to buy me a little coffee for the next reading. 🤓 Your support helps me continue discovering and narrating these forgotten works. #VictorianGhostStories #GhostStories #GothicLiterature
