What comes to mind when talking about legends, fairies, goblins and prophecies? You will probably (and you are right) say – narratives that go beyond reality. They are stories that always manage to capture our attention because they narrate inexplicable, disturbing, yet fascinating situations. Who has not felt a slight thrill in front of an enormous, gloomy Victorian house? Envisioning the ghosts gliding between rooms, our imagination takes us back to a story with evanescent figures dressed in white lingering in the dark, waiting to reveal themselves to the land of the living.

Gothic literature was born to narrate the inexplicable. Come and explore it with the lesson plan of Gothic Short Stories and the reading activity from the novel The Woman in White by Wilkie Collins, where you will find yourself catapulted into 200 year old houses filled with dark secrets. Travel to the land of the pharaohs and explore the mysteries of the netherworld while watching Great Mysteries of Our World. Uncover the power of ancient curses in The Eighth Sister and dedicate a lesson to the study of the supernatural. Wander back to the mythical forests of Europe to frolic with gnomes, goblins, or even witches, but be weary, they may cast a spell on you and transport you to another realm. You don’t believe in ghosts and witches? Explore the fanciful world of science fiction in the video, Alien Alert in Seattle or the classic tale The Lost World by Arthur Conan Doyle.
