Episode 26 - Live Special! The Society for Psychical Research

On May 23rd 2022 we were honoured to present a special live event at the Museum of Cambridge. Listen now for an introduction to the Society for Psychical Research, founded in 1888 to use scientific methods to investigate such strange goings on as telepathy, ghostly occurrences, spiritualism, and ectoplasmic manifestations. Meet founding members Henry Sidgwick, Frederic Myers, and Edmund Gurney, and hear about the seances of Italian medium Eusapia Palladino, held at Leckhampton House in Cambridge. Thanks to everyone who joined us for a wonderful evening!
