The Curious Case of Edgar Vandy

In August 1933, a brilliant young engineer named Edgar Vandy traveled to an estate in Sussex to help install a water-softening plant. Hours later, he was found dead at the bottom of a swimming pool. The official ruling was an accidental drowning, but the strange, unexplained circumstances left his family plagued by questions. Desperate for answers, they turned to the unseen world, initiating a series of secret seances with some of the most famous spiritual mediums of the era. What followed would stun researchers and skeptics alike. ​In this chilling episode of The Dark Show Horror, your host Ben Comore uncovers the unsettling history behind The Curious Case of Edgar Vandy.
