Halloween’s Deadly Séance: Was Houdini Silenced by Spiritualist Revenge?

On Halloween 1926, Harry Houdini, the escape artist who mocked death, met a chilling end. Officially, a ruptured appendix. But as the veil thins, whispers of murder grow louder. Did his crusade against Spiritualist frauds—exposing séance scams and feuding with Sir Arthur Conan Doyle—provoke a deadly revenge? A stranger’s brutal punches, a botched death certificate, and hints of poison fuel suspicion. Join Jay Nicoll on Ontario Cold Cases’ Historical True Crime Tuesdays as we summon the truth behind Houdini’s final act. Was it fate… or a séance of vengeance? Subscribe and share your theories!
