About this listen
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.
