Long before Ouija boards and ghost-hunting shows, millions believed the dead could speak. Born in the wake of war, disease, and unimaginable loss, the Spiritualist movement promised grieving families something they desperately wanted, one more conversation with those they had lost. In this episode of MACABRE, we explore the rise of Spiritualism, the séance craze that swept Victorian society, the mediums who claimed to bridge the gap between life and death, and the extraordinary events that left believers convinced the veil between worlds had grown thin. Was it faith, fraud, or something far more unsettling?

Join us as we uncover the history behind one of the most captivating supernatural movements of all time.
