Love this time of the year, when major institutions bring out their experts to produce spooky quality content like this. 👻

[@vamuseum]

We've got more next week! Here's a clue: 💀

[@sabbyd1832]

Yes, terrific

[@magicknight13]

I love it!

[@ANobodysHerstory]

I wrote my undergrad dissertation on Victorian spiritualism so I absolutely loved this upload! Thank you!

[@GeorgiaGeorgette]

I want to read it!

[@ANobodysHerstory]

@@GeorgiaGeorgette I don’t know how good it was but I loved researching it! 😅

[@dannypetersmith4430]

This is such a welcome surprise. I would've never expected this channel to participate in the spooky season. Please keep surprising us. Much love ❤️❤❤

[@vamuseum]

Just creepin it real 🕷

[@feenix47]

I always enjoy the V&A's videos. So, professional and well researched.

[@magicknight13]

Love this!!! Excellent video, excellent narrator, and love her spooky sweater and the way the book is protected and held up by a pillow! Thank you for the upload

[@kristi9475]

Thank you, V&A. The channel is fabulous!

[@evaevaevaevaevaeva]

Absolutely fascinating! I would love to see a full length documentary delving deeper into the historic context of supernatural belief in the Victorian era. Such an intriguing subject matter and a wonderful video. Thank you V&A 🖤☠️👻

[@ChristinaStern-x9o]

I love these V&A videos. Thank you so much for these short thematic (and very informative) videos. A pleasure to watch and learn. My other favorites from this series were the one on costuming for the play "Six" and the holiday one about Christmas baubles.

[@Delilah.Elizabeth]

What a fun and intriguing video! Thank you for sharing! 💜

[@111bella]

Love these videos so much 🖤 wish they were longer because I’d watch these all day long!

[@vamuseum]

More to come!

[@ShenanigansinMotion]

I enjoyed watching this, its great to see all the art and learn a little more about it!

[@winterlighthome]

This is such a fun video! Thank you for your great channel.

[@zoefoster1873]

Fascinating! One minor point, though - Prince Albert can't have been photographed in the late 19th century as stated, as he died in 1861

[@garywait3231]

As a historian and rare book collector, as well as Dickens enthusiast, one of the treasures of my collection is an l870's edition of a volume privately published in Brattleboro, Vt. (USA) purporting to be the completed Edwin Drood communicated to the anonymous "author" by Dickens' spirit. In its defense, I must say that the "completion" is at least no worse than Dickens' own portion of the novel!

[@ziggyvonmars]

This was fantastic!

[@Annika4000]

I actually remember staging this kind of ghost photo with my Dad (an amateur photographer, as am I now I'm older) when I was about five, wearing a white outfit and moving around during a long exposure. I loved it. This was a very interesting video.

[@sabbyd1832]

I had to check as in the photograph it looked like it was on its last legs. Great Ote Hall has been renovated. 13th century, wow

[@jdsgotninelives]

"...there is more of gravy than of grave about you..." Exquisite!

[@bollox21]

Super video! Love that the V&A does these seasonal shorts. Great content and presenters (off topic but where did the presenter get her Halloween sweater?)😊

[@Fluffymonkeyem]

The music went *hard*. I love how interested in spiritualism and mysticism the Victorians were despite how many rules they had.

[@maxlinder5262]

Interesting video.....😮

[@janerkenbrack3373]

No, I do not believe in ghosts, but I do enjoy the fun of spookiness. I like it when people create images or illusions that are compelling, even though there is a wall of skepticism that prevents me from getting sucked in. This is especially true around Halloween. I will engage with my ancestors as if they can hear me, though the only purpose this has is to remind me of my own inevitable death, and to imagine how they might see the world today, were they actually looking at it from the spirit world.

[@mawmawd627]

Spooky!!!🎃👻💀

[@oneshotme]

I enjoyed your video and I gave it a Thumbs Up

[@mrbluemonkeys]

This is great

[@rosskinghorn]

Man I love these videos. That's all x

[@tramasrarasoddplots]

Juan, so glad you're doing better. Nezahualcoyotl was a king, poet and warrior from the region of Texcoco. He was not an Aztec tho they all share the language. I agree that probably the beauty of the language is lost. He was deeply admired by the Spaniards bc he was so educated. He made literacy mandatory and his nation was highly educated.

[@smittenthekitteninmittens2679]

Is that where the term Davenport Cabinet comes from?....I have only heard the term as it is the name of a band I enjoy

[@anitchlikadze3451]

💖

[@darklingeraeld-ridge7946]

Most certainly, am a sceptic. But I saw one. That is hard to reconcile.

[@mikebeatstsb7030]

Bit sped up the part around 6-ending at 8:00

[@tmc5576]

SLAY

[@cayleytomburgessharrystyle1381]

hello Victoria and Albert museum love your KZbin channel do you believe in ghost

[@DeanaKing-k2r]

It would have been nice to hear what was being said except whoever dubbed on the music it was so loud that I couldnt hear a word the sound engineer needs sacking !

[@maxb4074]

I am not here. Just an underdone potato.

[@JohannesVanDerStuyvebode]

What baffles me is seeing grown adults wasting people's time with nonsensical videos about ghosts. There are people with real problems in the world like homeless people, refugees, psychically handicapped, the helpless elderly, the sick and mentally ill but here you are blabbering about apparitions which makes me question, do you not feel shame?

[@eseereoj]

Ms. Lydia Caston’s fingernails are so beautifully done - she must have gone to a Vietnamese manicurist (?) …

Please spare us "performativity".
