Spiritualism in Canada, Eh? Part 2 "The Séances That Shaped a Nation"
For decades, séances, spirit communication, and ghostly encounters weren't just tabloid curiosities—they shaped Canada's history. In this final installment of our two-part series, we explore the profound impact of spiritualism on the country's literary icons, scientific minds, and political leaders. From Sir Arthur Conan Doyle , the creator of Sherlock Holmes , who risked his reputation to prove the existence of spirits, to Lucy Maud Montgomery , who quietly attended séances while writing Anne of Green Gables and some of the country's most beloved books . We examine the eerie experiments of Dr. Thomas Glendenning Hamilton , whose unsettling photographs remain unexplained. And, perhaps most astonishing of all, William Lyon Mackenzie King —Canada's longest-serving Prime Minister—who sought comfort in messages from beyond, convinced that his lost loved ones were still guiding him. Was spiritualism a fleeting fad, or did it shape Canada's past in ways we've never fully acknowledged? 🎧 Listen now to uncover the ghostly secrets of Canada's past.
