Welcome to the 3rd annual Halloween episode, Episode 26. This time around we pay tribute to Harry Houdini who left this mortal coil on Halloween back in 1926. In addition to the stupefying feats of conjuring and illusion he was best known for, Houdini spent 30 years exhaustively researching spiritualism and the paranormal. Sitting with and studying the techniques of the best known mediums of the day, and ultimately being unconvinced that the were capable of their grandiose claims.
Next we take a look at electro-magnetic fields as they relate to investigating the paranormal. Looking at the reality of what the fields are, and the leap of faith required to draw some of the conclusions that investigators seem to draw from them. Aside from that there is just a whole lot of music.

There is a Heartbeat
I'm not going to say that I am getting back to a normalized schedule anymore. Every time I think I will be something, or things, prevents it from happening. The show will and does go on however, and I hope if you follow the Spookatorium you will continue to. If the show were to die I would deliver the eulogy so that those that cared would know. Until you hear that eulogy, and I don't forsee it, I hope you will check in now and again and if you are subscribed to the podcast you stay that way.
I'm working on the Halloween episode now, which I hope to have posted soon. Part of the problem is that I have so much I want to read, and the things I have been looking at feel like they deserve more research that it seems I'm never ready to present it in the abbreviated context of the show. I will sort it out.
I appreciate your patience and I should have a new show up soon.
