Ian and Martin discuss the fascinating way how spiritualism and ghost hunting began - with a haunting in Hydesville, New York in 1888. The podcast discusses the original haunting and how it started spiritualism and ghost hunting. Topics covered include Poltergeist cases, Enfield Poltergeist, How Spiritualism Inspired a Northern England Revolution, Spiritualism as a social history and inspired the rise of Unions and the Suffragette movement.

The Podcast also discusses if the Fox Sisters were fake, the strain of fame on two teenagers and also the people such as William Crookes, Oliver Lodge and Arthur Conan Doyle who investigated and were involved in the start of paranormal investigation.

As a conclusion to the podcast, we discuss how Spiritualism provided a greater impact after the First World War, and how society could have been very different without it.
