The Victorians were fascinated by death and the concept of the afterlife. Seances, ouija boards and conversing with the dead a fascination. The time of year, from Halloween to the winter solstice, was particularly special. These were the threshold months of the year when the space between worlds was thinned and the opportunity to commune with the dead more possible.
