Summary
Daniel Dunglas Home was a 19th-century medium who reportedly levitated in front of scientists, floated out of third-story windows, handled fire with his bare hands, and was never publicly exposed as a fraud. In this episode, we explore the true paranormal history of D.D. Home, the rise of Victorian spiritualism, and why scientists, skeptics, and nobility alike witnessed his séances and could not explain what they saw. From documented levitation events to investigations by respected researchers, this is the strange and unsettling story of one of the most mysterious figures in paranormal history.
