This episode involves an historic inn, two Victorian authors, and a ghost, all the elements needed for a spooky look into Lancaster's very own ghost story. Find out all about the sinister tale which Charles Dickens and Wilkie Collins wrote while staying in the town, and how the tale they created might say more about Victorian society, and a woman's place in it, than might be at first apparent.
