Gothic literature of the nineteenth century was intimately intertwined with the paranormal. Its authors were influenced by a combination of real life ghost stories, paranormal research and the radical changes in mainstream thinking around science, politics and gender. This talk presents some of these themes by discussing a few of the key individuals and their works of Gothic fiction.

Dr Robert Radakovic
I am an ex-management accountant who left the corporate world over a decade ago to study for an MA in Western Esotericism, followed by a PhD which considered the interplay between Science, Religion, Philosophy and the Paranormal in the nineteenth century. I have had a lifelong interest in ghosts, UFOs and psychic phenomena. I undertake independent research in each of these and I have been a council member of The Ghost Club (1862) since 2018.
I have presented a number of in-person and online talks to The Ghost Club (1862), the Association for the Scientific Study of Anomalous Phenomena (ASSAP), The Society for Psychical Research (SPR), The Last Tuesday Society, The London Dowsers and the University of the Third Age (U3A).
