Ep. 280 - The Spirited Anthology

About this episode

This episode explores the impact of spirits and spirituality on society through two intriguing stories.

In this episode I tell you two stories of the ways spirits and spirituality have had a very real effect on people and society. In the first story, I tell you how two inventions, the automobile and the Ouija board, once came together, causing a town in California to go a little mad. In story two I tell you about a remarkable young girl, who displayed some strange religious symbols.
