A Ghost in the Room and The Fatal Séance with author Ann McDougall

In 1874 Toronto, a séance meant to contact the dead ended in tragedy. When a man named John Saunders witnesses a glowing spirit during a private sitting, a dangerous deception turns fatal. As newspapers label the incident The Fatal Séance, fear spreads through Toronto’s Victorian society. This episode uncovers a true story behind one of Canada's earliest séance related deaths and the dark cost of spiritualism.
