Haunted History Chronicles
Maurice Barbanell: The Forgotten Architect of Modern Spiritualism With Dr Nick Richbell

Haunted History Chronicles

How does someone shape an entire movement... and yet almost disappear from history?If you've explored Spiritualism, the paranormal or psychical research, you've almost certainly encountered the legacy of Maurice Barbanell—even if you've never recognised his name.In this episode, historian Dr Nick Richbell joins me to discuss his new book, Silver Birch's Medium, and the extraordinary life of the man behind one of the most influential voices in twentieth-century Spiritualism. We explore Barbanell's remarkable journey from sceptic to believer, his role as the medium for Silver Birch, his decades editing Psychic News, his investigations into mediumship, his legal battles, and the lasting influence he had on Spiritualism in Britain and beyond.But this conversation is about much more than one historical figure.Together we ask how belief is formed, what people consider to be evidence, how personal experience shapes conviction, and why these questions remain just as relevant today. From science and religion to media, authority and public trust, Maurice Barbanell's story offers a fascinating window into the way people negotiate extraordinary claims in the modern world.My Special Guest Is Dr Nick Richbell:   Dr. Nick Richbell received his PhD in History from the University of Waterloo in Ontario, Canada. His research focuses on the history of Spiritualism, and his doctoral dissertation examined the life and influence of the medium Maurice Barbanell and his spirit guide, Silver Birch. While Silver Birch's teachings continue to be discussed in Spiritualist churches today, Maurice Barbanell's significant contributions are often overlooked. Barbanell devoted more than six decades to the Spiritualist movement, and Nick's research seeks to restore his place in history as one of the twentieth century's most influential advocates of Spiritualism.Nick recently completed his book, Silver Birch's Medium: Maurice Barbanell & Twentieth-Century Spiritualism, scheduled for publication on September 10, 2026. Based on his doctoral research, the book expands on his dissertation with previously unpublished photographs, two new chapters, and substantial revisions incorporating newly discovered archival material.As a Spiritualist himself, Nick embraces the movement's principle of thoughtful inquiry: to question what one reads and hears, and to accept only what resonates through personal experience and reflection.If you value this podcast and want to enjoy more episodes please come and find us on⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.patreon.com/Haunted_History_Chronicles⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠ to ⁠support the podcast, gain a wealth of additional exclusive podcasts, writing and other content.Links to all Haunted History Chronicles Social Media Pages, Published Materials and more:⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://linktr.ee/hauntedhistorychronicles?fbclid=IwAR15rJF2m9nJ0HTXm27HZ3QQ2Llz46E0UpdWv-zePVn9Oj9Q8rdYaZsR74I⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠NEWPodcast Shop:⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.teepublic.com/user/haunted-history-chronicles⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Buy Me A Coffee⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://ko-fi.com/hauntedhistorychronicles⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Guest Links:https://www.drspooky.com/ https://www.instagram.com/officialdrspooky/

!What if the spirit world isn't making mediumship difficult — we are? Reverend Gurdeep Bhogal joins me to explore Kundalini awakening, fear and doubt in mediumship, soul purpose, authenticity, yogic wisdom, consciousness, breath and what it means to live as the fullest expression of who we really are.This week on Soul Sync, I'm joined by Reverend Gurdeep Bhogal — psychic medium, ordained Spiritualist minister, Reiki Master Teacher, yoga teacher and holistic practitioner — for a conversation that begins with mediumship and ends up somewhere much bigger.Gurdeep's journey has taken her from growing up in West London and a successful career with British Airways to America, Spiritualism and an extraordinary Kundalini awakening that changed the direction of her life. She now works at the intersection of ancient yogic wisdom, modern Spiritualism, healing and mediumship.  We explore why spiritual awakening isn't always beautiful or comfortable, how trauma and our human experiences shape the development of a medium, and why fear, doubt and conditioning can become the very things that get between us and the natural simplicity of spirit communication.Gurdeep makes the wonderfully simple observation that there is nothing wrong with the spirit world — it is intelligent and magnificent. Perhaps our work is learning how to stop getting in its way. But this conversation goes far beyond mediumship.We talk about leaving conventional ideas of success behind, money versus fulfilment, living as the truest expression of your soul, authenticity in an increasingly airbrushed world, and mediumship as an extraordinarily intimate form of connection.  Then we head properly down the Soul Sync rabbit hole — into ancient yogic wisdom, consciousness, the physical body, non-duality and Gurdeep's beautiful proposition that we are not merely part of consciousness: we are consciousness itself. And towards the end, Gurdeep explores how something as ordinary as a single breath can contain the cycle of life and become a doorway into stillness, consciousness and connection with spirit. This is a conversation about mediumship.But perhaps even more than that, it's about remembering who we are.Connect to love. Be curious. And have compassion for yourself.Gurdeep currently works through Parinama – Transformative Healing Arts in Marblehead, Massachusetts.

In this special episode of The Paranormal Peep Show, Michael Tymn and Stephen Sakellarios explore the evidence for physical mediumship, Daniel Dunglas Home, the Fox Sisters, Houdini and the history of Spiritualism .In this special edition of The Paranormal Peep Show, host Neil Ward introduces a rare archival interview generously shared by researcher and author Stephen Sakellarios.Recorded some years ago, the interview features Stephen in conversation with respected psychical researcher and author Michael Tymn and is presented here, with Stephen's permission, for Paranormal Peep Show listeners. Together they explore what took place in the séance rooms of the Victorian and Edwardian eras, and why so many distinguished scientists, scholars and public figures became interested in the evidence for physical mediumship, while others remained unconvinced.Drawing on historical records, eyewitness testimony and decades of research, the discussion examines the lives and reported phenomena of celebrated mediums including Daniel Dunglas Home, the Fox Sisters and several of the lesser-known figures who helped shape the Spiritualist movement. Adding a more personal perspective, Michael also recounts his own visit to the Spiritualist Association of Great Britain (SAGB) in London in 1999, where he witnessed demonstrations of evidential mediumship that left a lasting impression. Among the many fascinating subjects discussed are: The remarkable physical phenomena reported during Victorian and twentieth-century séances. How investigators attempted to distinguish genuine mediumship from fraud. The linguistic tests carried out during trance communications said to involve the spirit of Confucius, and what researchers hoped to learn from them. Harry Houdini's lifelong campaign against fraudulent mediums, together with the intriguing story of the secret code that his widow, Bess Houdini, believed she received after his death.Why these historical cases continue to be debated by psychical researchers, historians and sceptics alike. Whether you approach the subject as a believer, a sceptic or simply someone with an interest in history, this conversation offers an informed and thoughtful exploration of one of the most intriguing periods in psychical research.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/paranormal-uk-radio-network--4541473/support.

Or rather, hunting those who claimed to speak to ghosts.In this episode of Talking Strange, host Aaron Sagers sits down with John Cox, the leading Houdini historian behind the acclaimed blog Wild About Harry (wildabouthoudini.com). Cox is the author of Escaping Obscurity: The Travel Diary of Harry Houdini, 1897–1899 and is currently completing a definitive three-volume Houdini biography.Aaron and John dig into Houdini's complicated, often contradictory relationship with Spiritualism — a movement he publicly crusaded against. They trace the rise and collapse of his friendship with Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, the Sherlock Holmes creator and devout Spiritualist whose unwavering belief in psychic phenomena put him on a collision course with Houdini's exposure campaigns. The conversation also covers Houdini's own staged séances, the mystery of his famous secret code with wife Bess, and the strange afterlife of his legacy in pop culture.For more with John Cox, check out the expanded episode on Aaron's Patreon (Patreon.com/AaronSagers)_______________________________________________________________ The Talking Strange Show with Aaron Sagers is a weekly paranormal pop culture show featuring celebrity and author interviews, as well as experts in all things strange and unexplained.

Since the discovery of her abilities, Karen has worked tirelessly to bring the word of Spirit to those who need it most. From the UK to the USA, from Asia to Australia, clients from all over the world meet with Karen to receive readings, enrol in mentorships and share a space for discussions on the power of Spirit. A woman with spirit and a breath of fresh air, Karen offers a contemporary approach to psychic work and mediumship based on traditional principles. Filled with love and compassion, she stands as one of the most reputable and skilled mediums in modern times. Karen's Journey: One of my earliest childhood memories is seeing spirit people, without actually realising they were spirit people. I never questioned it at the time, I just seemed to accept that they were there. My Grandmother, Elizabeth, often talked of the spirit world and she, too, was attuned to spirit in her own ways. I used to love listening to her stories about those who had crossed over. As I began to grow and develop my own connection with Spirit, she would often say ‘Karen brings the spirit world with her'. Every step I have taken in life led me to my mediumship. In previous jobs I was always frustrated that I couldn't do more to ease pain and suffering of others. I felt an insatiable desire to help others reach a place of happiness and comfort. That's when Spirit made themselves known and, over my 25-year journey, guided me to develop a deep connection. My work has changed, but my purpose has remained the same: to serve and guide others with the word of Spirit. To ease pain and sadness with comfort and love. And to provide genuine knowledge and evidence of the existence of a world beyond our own.

Weird Darkness: Stories of the Paranormal, Supernatural, Legends, Lore, Mysterious, Macabre, Unsolved

Annabelle is the doll everyone knows — but she's far from the only one locked behind glass for a reason. From a marionette that screamed to be let out of a car trunk to a porcelain figure that reportedly killed a man for mocking her, these are the dolls that move on their own, scratch their owners in the dark, and refuse to stay where they're put.FEATURED STORIES IN THIS EPISODE: Haunted dolls seems to be a dime a dozen, and can even be found on sale, but for all of the strange phenomena surrounding these creations, surely the most frightening of all, are dolls that are not only haunted, but also the residences of hateful, violent forces that seek to harm or destroy us. (Sinister Accounts of Evil Haunted Dolls) *** A woman who had never experienced anything paranormal, suddenly has odd things happen around her after visiting a spiritualist. (Has Our Home Been Invaded By A Paranormal Entity Since Visiting a Spiritualist?) *** He's tall, he takes over your thoughts and movements – removing all free will. He has several arms… and no face. Slenderman came into being around 2009 – so what were people seeing thousands of years ago that has the same description? (Mystery of the Faceless Creature) *** Between 1986 and 1989, at least eight individuals and possibly an additional four more were killed in the Colonial Parkway area of Virginia. The serial killer has never been found and the Colonial Parkway murders remain unsolved. (The Colonial Parkway Killer) *** It is said that if she is hailed by another ship, her crew will often try to send messages to land or to people long since dead. In ocean lore, the sight of this phantom ship is reckoned by seafarers to be a sign of impending doom. Her name is The Flying Dutchman. (The Legend of the Flying Dutchman) *** The body of a young woman is found floating in the Miami River outside of Dayton, Ohio. The coroner found nothing to indicate violence; the police believed otherwise. Even after digging her body out of the grave twice, there are still questions about what happened.

This week on Magnolia Street, we step into the electric, untamed world of 1960s Greenwich Village.Inspired by Alice Hoffman's playlist for The Rules of Magic, we explore how music became a portal into identity, power, and transformation; from Bob Dylan's protest anthems to Jimi Hendrix's psychedelic fire and Nina Simone's spellbinding voice.We wander through Washington Square Park and descend into the Village's shadowy nightlife! From the Red Witch to the Zodiac Club in Bell, Book and Candle, we explore how these spaces invited freedom, danger, and transformation. We unpack what inspired Vincent's introduction into the Owens story, trace the cultural shifts of the era, including the Stonewall riots and the rise of LGBTQ+ movements and follow the lingering ghosts of New York City.We stop at 44 Greenwich Avenue, the aunts' magick shop and the real-life office of Alice's beloved agent, the late Elaine Markson, exploring its history and Hoffman's tribute to her. We also dive into 1960s witchcraft culture; from Leo Martello to Spiritualist gatherings at the The Ansonia, and examine how media shaped the modern witch, drawing parallels between Bell, Book and Candle's Gillian Holroyd and Practical Magic's Gillian Owens.And in a more personal turn, Justina takes us through the Village venues mentioned in the book, sharing glimpses of her own early music career as a young troubadour navigating the Greenwich Village songwriter circuit, blurring the line between past and present, fiction and lived experience.Because in The Village, magic isn't always spells and potions…sometimes it's following the ghosts of Greenwich back through time to find the songs where they began.SOCIALS:⁠⁠Link Tree⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Patreon⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Instagram⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠SourcesDISCLAIMER:The Magnolia Street Podcast is for entertainment and informational purposes and should not be used as a substitute for professional or medical advice.

In this Remaster episode I talk to Dr. Alan Hugenot. We talk about his Near Death Experience and his book The Death Experience: What it is like when you die. His book describes what you will experience as you die. Giving details of the death process and your journey into the afterlife based on the author's own Near-Death experience where he died, went out-of-body into the afterlife, and returned to a second life in the same body. His experiences are collated with the Tibetan Book of the Dead; the Egyptian Book of the Dead; and current research on the Near Death-experience by the International Association for Near Death Studies (IANDS); Dr. Ian Stevensens's research on Children who Remember Past Lives at the University of Virginia; and studies of After-Death Communication at the University of Arizona. Giving the current science on consciousness survival while explaining quantum mathematics and the afterlife postulated to exist in dark energy located in alternative dimensions. Bio Dr. Hugenot began the study of mediumship more than a dozen years ago strictly as a scientist, intending to establish scientifically that this phenomenon was valid, and that communication with deceased surviving consciousness was indeed possible. Before giving his first reading he trained as a medium for 7 years within the Spiritualist tradition. This included completing the 4 year course with the Morris Pratt Institute, outside Milwaukie, Wisconsin, and also traveling to Lily Dale outside Buffalo, N.Y. to take week long seminars. Finally. he made three separate trips to England attending a total of five weeks of courses at Arthur Findlay College, of psychic science, outside Stansted, Essex, UK. So that today he is a member of the Licentiate Ministers & Certified Mediums Society of the NSAC. Currently, he regularly “demonstrates” Evidential Mediumship from the platform at Spiritualist services, and in circles (seances).

In this episode, I look at the Bangs sisters, two of the most famous spirit mediums working in Chicago in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. Lizzie and May Bangs became especially well known for their “precipitated” spirit portraits: images said to appear on prepared canvases during sittings, rather than being painted in the ordinary way before the audience's eyes. The episode focuses on who the sisters were, how their portrait sittings were described, and why the paintings became such an important part of American Spiritualist culture. I examine the methods later associated with their work, including the use of framed canvases, window light, and controlled viewing conditions, and I discuss why these portraits were treated as something more than séance curiosities. They were framed, preserved, displayed, and compared with photographs of the dead, which gave them a lasting place in Spiritualist collections. I also spend time on the pictures themselves as physical objects. Did they look like ordinary oil paintings? The historical descriptions suggest something more unusual. Later writers and museum accounts often describe the Bangs portraits as smooth in finish, with little or no visible brushwork, rich color, and an appearance closer to softly blended portraiture than to heavily worked oil paint. Some accounts compared the effect to airbrushing. The episode also covers specific surviving examples, including portraits linked to Queen Victoria and to Emily and Rose Carson in the Camp Chesterfield collection. Just as important, I look at reports from sitters who said the finished image resembled the deceased closely, sometimes down to details such as beard style, jewelry, or coloring. This is an episode about mediumship, mourning, portraiture, and the question of what people believed they were seeing when a face from the dead appeared on canvas. https://www.pastliveshypnosis.co.uk/https://www.patreon.com/ourparanormalafterlifeMy book 'Verified Near Death Experiences' https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0DXKRGDFP Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Magic and Medicines is BACK - just like the ooky-spooky ghosts summoned up by believers in this episode's topic - Spiritualism!As we discuss, philosophically speaking 'Spiritualism' is a big old tradition, involving any belief system rooted in concepts of souls, spirits, or supernatural forces. In the 19th century however, during the Second Great Awakening in upstate New York, Spiritualist ideas from a range of Revivalist traditions combined to make something new.Exploding in popularity following America's Civil War, then booming again in Britain after the Great War, new generations of 'Mediums' had come forth, channeling ghosts and cosmic forces in ways that would have been recognisable in Prophets, Holy Maids and Cunning Folk from the Ancient, Medieval and Renaissance eras.Which is to say, Necromancy was back after a rebrand - and so were its enemies, in the forms of debunkers, prosecutors, and many a Society of Psychical Research.From rapping tables to sudden splurges of ectoplasm, Spiritualist manifestos to Harry Houdini hunting severed hands hidden in delicate places, this one has it all.So, turn off the lights, light some candles, and let's all hold hands...Is there anybody there?!Three Ravens is an English Myth and Folklore podcast hosted by award-winning writers Martin Vaux and Eleanor Conlon.Released on Mondays, each weekly episode focuses on one of England's 39 historic counties, exploring the history, folklore and traditions of the area, from ghosts and mermaids to mythical monsters, half-forgotten heroes, bloody legends, and much, much more.

"Sincerely held religious belief" is now a common phrase in discussions of American religious freedom, from opinions handed down by the US Supreme Court to local controversies. The "sincerity test" of religious belief has become a cornerstone of US jurisprudence, framing what counts as legitimate grounds for First Amendment claims in the eyes of the law. In Sincerely Held: American Secularism and Its Believers (U Chicago Press, 2022), Charles McCrary provides an original account of how sincerely held religious belief became the primary standard for determining what legally counts as authentic religion. McCrary skillfully traces the interlocking histories of American sincerity, religion, and secularism starting in the mid-nineteenth century. He analyzes a diverse archive, including Herman Melville's novel The Confidence-Man, vice-suppressing police, Spiritualist women accused of being fortune-tellers, eclectic conscientious objectors, secularization theorists, Black revolutionaries, and anti-LGBTQ litigants. Across this history, McCrary reveals how sincerity and sincerely held religious belief developed as technologies of secular governance, determining what does and doesn't entitle a person to receive protections from the state. This fresh analysis of secularism in the United States invites further reflection on the role of sincerity in public life and religious studies scholarship, asking why sincerity has come to matter so much in a supposedly "post-truth" era.

The first person to ever come on to the show to attempt to lay forth a cosmology if you like, that is to say a guest who was not one of Rogans comedy buddies or MMA pals, was according to Rogan and the man himself, Graham Hancock.Exploring the idea-historical roots and the personal linage of Hancock, we will take to you to the early days of the great proto-fascistic split of the Theosophical Society in the early 1900s. We will take you to the days of Blavatsky's coming-on-to-the-scene in the 1870s and deeper still to the Spiritualist genesis in March 31, 1848, fuck it, we will take you back to the first arioheroic Swastikalers as they went underground during the masonic bans of the late 1700s.And we will show why Rogan has been told to tell his followers to believe in the strength of the Männerbund.So get out that Christmas drink or spliff or long distance walking boots because I know you will enjoy this one.PS.

Joe is looking for guest for an upcoming series. ***   For decades, the Ouija board has been one of the most controversial objects in the paranormal world. Sold as a simple parlor game in toy stores, yet whispered about in haunted houses and horror stories, the Ouija board sits at the crossroads between curiosity and fear. In this episode of *222 Paranormal Podcast*, we dive deep into the history, myths, and real-world experiences surrounding this infamous spirit communication tool. Often referred to as a "talking board," the Ouija board dates back to the late 1800s, emerging during the height of the Spiritualist movement. At a time when séances and spirit communication were becoming popular, the board promised a way for everyday people to communicate with the other side. But was it ever meant to be harmless entertainment—or something far more dangerous? Throughout the episode, we explore how Ouija boards are believed to work, including theories involving subconscious movement (the ideomotor effect) and spiritual explanations involving spirit attachment, portals, and entities masquerading as the dead. Many paranormal investigators and religious leaders warn that Ouija boards act as open invitations, allowing anything—or anyone—to come through. Others argue the board is only as dangerous as the intent of the users. We also discuss chilling real-life encounters shared by investigators, listeners, and witnesses—stories of unexplained activity, shadow figures, sudden personality changes, and long-term hauntings that began with a single Ouija session. Are these coincidences, psychological reactions, or something darker? The line between belief and experience becomes blurred as patterns begin to emerge. The episode also breaks down common Ouija rules and warnings often passed down in paranormal circles: never play alone, never play in a graveyard, always close the session properly, and never ask certain questions. But do these rules actually offer protection, or are they folklore meant to give users a false sense of control? As always, *222 Paranormal Podcast* approaches the topic with open minds and grounded discussion—respecting both skeptics and believers alike. Whether you see the Ouija board as a harmless game, a psychological tool, or a genuine gateway to the unknown, this episode will make you think twice before placing your hands on the planchette. So the question remains: are Ouija boards simply reflecting our subconscious minds… or are we inviting something unseen to step into our world? Listen now and decide for yourself.   Welcome to the 222 Paranormal Podcast, your gateway to the captivating world of the supernatural. Immerse yourself in our expertly crafted episodes, where we delve deep into a wide range of paranormal phenomena, including ghostly hauntings, cryptid sightings, and unexplained mysteries that defy logic.

Two teenagers, the Fox sisters, are credited with igniting the Spiritualist movement. At its height, by the late 1800s, upwards of 8 million people across the US and Europe were said to subscribe to spiritualist beliefs. But, in 1888, the Fox Sisters admitted that it was all fake. They were not mediums - none of that was real Every message, knock, or rapping from the other side was all manufactured by them.

Catherine Crowe was a wildly acclaimed Victorian novelist, playwright, social critic and …ghost hunter? Her novels were as popular as Charles Dickens,' and Ralph Waldo Emerson, Harriet Martineau, and George Eliot were her ardent fans. And her pioneering catalog of ghosts and the supernatural, The Night Side of Nature, was one of the first and most influential works to be adopted by the up-and-coming Spiritualist movement. So how did this incredibly talented, incredibly famous woman disappear from our collective memory? The answer involves a few misbehaving spirits, a little bit of nudity, and a whole lot of mean-spirited gossip by one very famous frenemy.  For this year's Halloween Special, Professor Ruth Heholt helps Olivia resurrect the wildly famous, wildly fascinating, wildly under-appreciated Catherine Crowe. Selections from Catherine Crowe's works read for us by Matthew Meikle and Emma Porter.

Harry Houdini was the world's greatest escape artist and at the height of his powers was one of the world's most famous people. His unearthly ability to escape any prison and to break free of any bondage was matched only by his aggressive self-promotion. Anyone who tried to get in his way, rewrite his story, steal his thunder or question his abilities would find themselves in his crosshairs. When the burgeoning Spiritualist movement tried to make a fool of Houdini, he began a crusade that would last the rest of his life. And when his life was over, the question Houdini left the world was: could he make the greatest escape in history? This episode was originally published on October 24, 2024.

There are two main Spiritualist Camps in America dating back to the Victorian Era: Lilydale in New York and Cassadaga in Florida. We've visited Cassadaga several times, which is known as the Psychic Capital of the World. Almost as often as St. Augustine, and like St. Augustine, Cassadaga oozes spiritual energy. While some people might think that Spiritualism was just a craze during the Victorian Era, it is a real religion that still exists today and is recognized by the military as a standard religion. There are around 13 million practicing Spiritualists in the world today. Many of them still live in Cassadaga and there seems to be many spirits in this small town, not only of the Spiritualists who have already transitioned, but perhaps of the many spirits called to the town. Join us for the history and hauntings of the Cassadaga Spiritualist Camp. The Moment in Oddity features the Lung Tree.
