LONG VERSION VIDEO
Victorian society was rife with traditions and superstitions related to the paranormal. The belief in ghosts and spirits was
widespread, and people held firm to the notion that the dead could communicate with the living. Ouija boards, crystal balls, and tarot cards were commonly used tools for contacting the spirit realm, and mediums were revered for
their supposed ability to bridge the gap between the living and the dead.
The mansion itself is known for supernatural occurrences. Eerie footsteps echo through the corridors when no one is present, doors mysteriously open and close, and cold drafts chilled
the air. Visitors reported glimpses of shadowy figures lurking in the corners of their vision, and some even claimed to have felt ghostly touches or heard disembodied voices whispering in their ears.
The ghost tour of Mrs. Charlotte Coffman's home allows you to delve into the rich history and spectral legends of the Victorian era. It offers a unique opportunity to immerse yourself in the superstitions and supernatural beliefs that fascinated and frightened people during this period.
Whether you're a skeptic or a believer, this tour promises an unforgettable journey into the realm of the unknown, where the echoes of the past still resonate to this day.
