What's the talk about?
Throughout history there have been many fraudsters making a living from the paranormal. From the Fox Sisters who kickstarted the spiritualist craze through to modern psychics and mediums who have been shown up for using trickery in their performance, the lure of the paranormal con is easy to understand.
People want to believe, and the desperate are easy to exploit for gain.
We look back at 150 years of supernatural shenanigans and address some of the modern day claims in this interactive and fun talk.
