We discuss the spiritualism movement, Harry's dislike of it, some of his more famous encounters with others over spiritualism, but mostly we focus on this one night where he did a show in St. JOseph, showing how spiritualists defrauded people and ruining the local reputation of one Hatfield Pettibone, a spiritualist who gained fame far and wide for his automatic writing. We discuss how Houdini faced both the public and a crowd of people who paid to disrupt the show and how Houdini was still able to prove most methods of Spiritualism could be easily faked. So join us in this scholarly, historical, confrontational episode of the Family Plot Podcast!
