Victorian Seances and A Rude Ghost - The Paranormal Podcast 887
Ghosts aren’t just relics of Victorian fiction—Dr. Kate Cherrell reveals how 19th-century spiritualists shaped the ghost-hunting traditions we still follow today. With a PhD in female mediumship and a lifelong fascination with the paranormal, Kate shares both her scholarly insights and personal experiences, from haunted homes to unsettling physical encounters. She explains how Victorian séances ranged from refined tea-time table-tipping to wild, theatrical performances involving everything from spirit gifts to (allegedly) teleporting mediums. If you thought modern ghost hunting was dramatic, wait until you hear about the woman who "materialized" on a séance table as a surprise gift.
Jim and Dr. Cherrell also dive into how modern paranormal investigations differ—and eerily resemble—those of the past. They explore consciousness as a ghost-hunting tool, tales of time slips in Liverpool, and why ghosts may not be just spirits of the dead but something much stranger. You’ll also hear about Kate’s eerie run-in with a very hands-on spirit and how those experiences inspired her gothic novel Begotten. Whether you're into psychic history, hands-on investigation tips, or jaw-dropping séance stories, this episode will leave you questioning the very nature of reality.
