The Waltz of the Forgotten Hearts

My grandmother always said the Winter Gardens weren’t haunted - they were remembered. And the day she told me about the waltz she danced with someone who wasn’t there, I stopped believing ghosts were meant to be frightening.

This story has shaped the way I understand the unseen.

My Grandma Rose was elegant, dramatic, and full of stories, but none stayed with me like the one about the abandoned Victorian Winter Gardens she and her friend Agnes snuck in as teenagers, expecting dust and silence.

This isn’t a tale of terror, but a reminder that some memories refuse to fade, and some hearts never stop waltzing.

If you’re drawn to gentle hauntings, bittersweet echoes of the past, or stories where love lingers long after the dancers are gone, press play.

Not for kids - listener discretion advised.
