We’re taught that science and the séance room are enemies. Cold reason on one side; candles, trances and table-tipping on the other. But that is not the whole story.
This week, Yvette Fielding and her paranormal partner in crime Karl Beattie go somewhere they’ve never taken you before: not a ruined castle or a cold, empty asylum, but inside the minds of the men who built the modern world. The ones who gave us the telephone, the radio, the light bulb and the very theory of evolution — and who spent their nights in darkened rooms, straining to hear a whisper from the other side.
Because some of the most brilliant, most sceptical minds our species has ever produced refused to believe that death was the end. Some lost sons and tried to call them back. Some built machines to telephone the dead. Some staked their entire reputations on the claim that the soul survives. So this week we ask the question that unsettles believer and sceptic alike: why did the cleverest people who ever lived look into the dark — and decide there was something there?
Yvette and Karl meet six titans of science who walked into the séance room, and never fully walked back out.
You’ll hear six journeys from the summit of science into the unknown
Then the big question: why them? Why do the coldest, most rational minds keep walking into the darkened room?
Keep the lights on. And if the phone rings, and there’s nothing but static on the line, you might just want to listen a little harder.
