For decades, séances, spirit communication, and ghostly encounters weren’t just tabloid curiosities—they shaped Canada’s history. In this final installment of our two-part series, we explore the profound impact of spiritualism on the country’s literary icons, scientific minds, and political leaders. From <a href= "https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arthur_Conan_Doyle" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Sir Arthur Conan Doyle</a>, the creator of Sherlock Holmes, who risked his reputation to prove the existence of spirits, to <a href= "https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lucy_Maud_Montgomery" target= "_blank" rel="noopener">Lucy Maud Montgomery</a>, who quietly attended séances while writing Anne of Green Gables and some of the country’s most beloved books. We examine the eerie experiments of <a href= "https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thomas_Glendenning_Hamilton" target= "_blank" rel="noopener">Dr. Thomas Glendenning Hamilton</a>, whose unsettling photographs remain unexplained. And, perhaps most astonishing of all, <a href= "https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/William_Lyon_Mackenzie_King" target= "_blank" rel="noopener">William Lyon Mackenzie King</a>—Canada’s longest-serving Prime Minister—who sought comfort in messages from beyond, convinced that his lost loved ones were still guiding him. Was spiritualism a fleeting fad, or did it shape Canada’s past in ways we’ve never fully acknowledged? 🎧 Listen now to uncover the ghostly secrets of Canada’s past.
