About this episode

The episode explores the life and work of Harry Price, a controversial figure in the field of parapsychology.

Beyond the gaslit streets of Edwardian London, tucked away in the shadowed corners of the National Laboratory of Psychical Research, one man stood at the intersection of science and the supernatural. Known as a self-styled "Ghost Hunter," he was a figure as polarizing as the phenomena he chased—a master of deception who dedicated his life to unmasking the fraudulent, while desperately seeking the one miracle he couldn't debunk. From the infamous "talking mongoose" of the Isle of Man to the bone-chilling corridors of Borley Rectory, the most haunted house in England, he brought the precision of a clockmaker and the flair of a showman to the seance room. He didn't just tell ghost stories; he measured them. With infrared cameras, mercury switches, and sealed chambers, he attempted to trap the ethereal in the nets of the material world. Was he a brilliant pioneer of parapsychology, or a sophisticated charlatan who knew exactly how to manipulate the media and the spirits alike?
