Strangest Species
Undercover Séance Buster
Spiritualism swept through the United States in the mid-1800s and early 1900s, bringing along its main star, the séance. Millions of average Americans flocked to mediums and huddled around dark tables in shadowy rooms for the chance to speak to their deceased loved ones, and unfortunately, many ill-meaning crooks took advantage of them, making considerable money off of them.
They needed a hero, someone to stop the charlatans in their tracks. That's where Rose Mackenberg stepped. The lead investigator for Harry Houdini, Rose went undercover to expose hundreds of crook mediums and did it with a touch of flair.
Join us today as we discuss Rose Mackenberg and her amazing job as a medium buster.
