Is that seance the real deal, or a clever con to hoodwink the bereaved?
In the wake of World War 1, Spiritualism's popularity spread like wildfire, and mediums were developing new tricks to dupe people into believing they had contact with the dead, from otherworldly voices to physical manifestations of the spirit realm. 
Enter Harry Price, former magician, medium, and con-man, who made it his mission to debunk fake mediums and formed the National Laboratory for Psychical Research.
