Phantasms of the Living with Simon Thought
This podcast series is a review and discussion of case studies from the seminal, two volume, massive work known as “Phantasms of the Living” published in 1886 by the Society for Psychical Research in England. The Society was made up both skeptics and believers in the paranormal and conducted research into various areas in an attempt to prove whether such phenomenae were real or not.

This episode discusses two investigations of haunted houses .
