They who dream by day are cognizant of many things which escape those who dream only by night. In their grey visions, they obtain glimpses of eternity and thrill in waking to find that they have been on the verge of the great secret.
Edgar Allen Poe, “Eleonora“
This is 1840. There are stories and fairy tales, but this is an age of reason, and people don’t believe ghosts are real. The British Empire flourishes its reach and bounds, expanding ever outward. Change is afoot. Yet, some boundaries should not be interfered with. A switch has been thrown in the ether; a signal changed. The flow of the spirit world has been altered. You are one of the Blessed, gifted with the vision to see into the unknown. But when few can see what you see, the life of a Victorian ghost hunter can damage one’s reputation and decorum.
