The Truth About Bathsheba Sherman

One of the reasons I started this podcast is because as much as I love a ghost story, I always want to know the true story behind the story. And I was often surprised how far the facts of the matter were from the story that got me interested in the first place. Often the tall tales are vilifying someone who did nothing to deserve it. And I don’t think that’s right, and I want to set the record straight. So tonight, I’m going to set the record straight on Bathsheba Sherman, who was depicted as a Satanic, baby-murdering witch, in the 2013 movie The Conjuring.

Mirror Lore & Superstitions

One of the topics that generates the most discussion any time I talk about it on social media, is Victorian funeral customs. In particular, a lot of people relate to the covering of mirrors in the house when someone dies. Many comment that this is still a thing in many communities and cultures today. The reasons Victorians did this was so the soul of the deceased didn’t get confused and trapped in the mirror. But this barely scratches the surface of beliefs about mirrors. That’s why I’ve decided to dedicate tonight’s Good Night Snack episode to mirror lore and superstitions.

William Mumler

A favorite holiday and winter pastime for Victorians, was telling ghost stories. Many Victorians wholeheartedly believed our deceased loved ones remained around us in spirit, just as much as when they were alive. Many were also skeptical, but those who believed, made it their mission to find proof. In tonight’s story, we’re going to talk about one man who, to some, provided concrete proof that our loved ones remained with us just beyond veil.

This is the story of spirit photographer, William Mumler.
