  • The Curious Case of Edgar Vandy
    Jan 20 2026
    In 1933 when a young, London inventor died under suspicious circumstances, his two surviving brothers turned to the talents of spiritualist mediums in the hopes of finding some answers to the many questions they had following the wholly satisfying inquest. Over a period of six months, the two men sat for several well known mediums, but by the end of it all, were given no hard answers to any of the bigger matters; Exactly who had been with him at the time of his death, and how had it come about? If anything, they were only asked a new question; Were any of the details given by the mediums to be trusted at all?SOURCES Gay, Kathleen (1957). The case of Edgar Vandy.

Long-term fan of this show, former history lecturer can only recommend these bizarre histories - they are very well researched, so have an excellent basis in fact. The author is aware of his resources and possible bias of them, making this a joy for the critical listener. To top this, the information is engaging presented in good prose allowing anyone to follow the curious tales.

Fascinatingly told and well researched.
