Show Notes

Since it is September, and many believe September is not too soon to prepare for Halloween, this story is about a man's encounter with a clairvoyant medium capable of conjuring the dead. Is it a miracle, or explained by the science of magnetism? "There are no dead souls; they are undying and can always appear, when they like.... They are always about us."
