## Resource

In this episode, the boys investigate the early 20th century psychic medium Helen Duncan and the legitimacy of her claims; or lack thereof. Is she the real deal? Or is she just a scallywag preying on the grief and loss of desperate family members in their time of vulnerability for a cash profit?
