  <title>Ep 197 – Spiritualism in Canada, Eh? Part 2 “The Séances That Shaped a Nation”</title>
  <description>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,&amp;amp;nbsp;we explore the profound impact of spiritualism on the country’s literary icons, scientific minds, and political leaders. From&amp;amp;nbsp;Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, the creator of&amp;amp;nbsp;Sherlock Holmes,&amp;amp;nbsp;who risked his reputation&amp;amp;nbsp;to prove the existence of spirits, to&amp;amp;nbsp;Lucy Maud Montgomery,&amp;amp;nbsp;who quietly attended séances&amp;amp;nbsp;while writing&amp;amp;nbsp;Anne of Green Gables&amp;amp;nbsp;and some of the country’s most beloved books.&amp;amp;nbsp;We examine the eerie experiments of&amp;amp;nbsp;Dr. Thomas Glendenning Hamilton,&amp;amp;nbsp;whose unsettling photographs remain unexplained. And, perhaps most astonishing of all,&amp;amp;nbsp;William Lyon Mackenzie King—Canada’s longest-serving Prime Minister—who sought comfort in messages from beyond,&amp;amp;nbsp;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? 🎧&amp;amp;nbsp;Listen now to uncover the ghostly secrets of Canada’s past.
