Join us in the shadowed world of the Victorian séance. From the 1840s through the 1920s spirit mediums captivated audiences across the globe—true believers swore their encounters were real while skeptics reached for science and trickery. Even today Hollywood depicts séances as scenes of horror but the real stories are stranger—and far more fascinating—than fiction.
In The Talking Dead history comes alive your host John Shore guides you through the very manifestations that left 19th-century audiences spellbound re-creating the remarkable events of the séance rooms. Every moment of the show comes directly from first-hand accounts written by those who were there. Tables float spirits rap bells ring and voices from beyond penetrate your thoughts to bring answers to the living.
Skeptics will remain skeptical. Believers will believe. But together we find adventure in this journey beyond the veil.
