Ep 196 - Spiritualism in Canada, Eh? Part 1 "Ghosts, God & The Great Divide"

In the early 20th century, Canada was swept up in a wave of Spiritualism, where séances promised answers, and the line between faith, fraud, and fear blurred. In this two-part series, we explore how Spiritualism became more than a curiosity—it divided families, enchanted elites, and outraged religious leaders. From fiery sermons and public scandals to exclusive séances held in the lavish parlours of the wealthy and powerful, discover how this controversial movement captured the nation's imagination and sparked a cultural clash over life, death, and the unknown.
