Welcome back to Season 2 of “Paranormal Pajama Party”! I hope you’re as excited to dive back into these stories as I am.
Set against the backdrop of Regency-era England (think “Bridgerton” and Jane Austen), this episode unravels the tragic story of Sarah Whitehead, a woman consumed by grief and desperation after the execution of her brother for forgery.
We’ll explore the complexities of life for working-class and middle-class women during the Regency period – it’s not as glamorous as romance novels led us to believe – exploring the societal constraints and injustices that shaped Sarah’s tragic fate.
From gender expectations to financial turmoil, we’ll look at how Sarah's life unravelled, and why you might still encounter her spirit haunting the Bank of England, its Underground station, or nearby Threadneedle Street in search of her lost brother.
