Customer Reviews
Riveting story with strong female characters 🖤
I binged the whole first season in a single weekend. The story is riveting, especially for those with a knowledge of turn-of-the-century spiritualism (hey, fellow nerds!). Also appreciate the sound design and inclusion of strong female characters! Highly recommend if you’re looking for a spooky historical audio drama.
Mediocre
Very slow at times. Listened to the end hoping for some twist or something, I really feel I wasted my time lol
