Case 144: Margery Crandon - Gifted Medium or Charlatan

True Hauntings

In 1924, the pretty wife of a distinguished Boston surgeon came to embody a raging national debate over the values of the Spiritualism movement which was devoted to communication with the dead.

Newspapers dubbed her the blonde Witch of Lime Street, but she was known to her followers simply as Margery.

Some called her a mystic and some called her a fraud. But this is the story of a woman who has also been called one of the most powerful mediums ever.

The Margery case, (as it as known) was the last major episode of its kind, and it blew up and was the subject of public controversy because of all of the articles in the newspapers about her and her on going spats with Harry Houdini.

Apparently she could levitate, produce other psychokinetic phenomena, and her mediumship was led by the ‘direct voice’ of a male individual that seemed to originate independently from her own voice box.

In this episode we find more about the amazing Margery Crandon.
