In a perfect world, your body is your own. But once in awhile, you've got to share it with a dead person. When that happens, the classy thing to do is fall asleep and wake up when it's over. If you can't do that . . . lie back and think of England.

S2:E8 The Coming of the Fairies Part 2: Sir Arthur Conan Doyle is Duped.

On today's episode, we learn that a desire to believe can sometimes overrule good sense. Poor Doyle believed all he was told about the fairies of Cottingley. But he wasn't alone. Elsie Wright and Frances Griffiths fooled lots of people. So what does it take to fool a literary genius? Tune in and find out.

Next Episode

S2: E10 John Wilkes Booth Returns? Seriously?

Okay, so a couple of things about this episode:
1) It's about regression hypnosis and this dude from 1970 who said he used to be John Wilkes Booth and was guilty of killing Abe Lincoln
2) We had a hard time keeping it together throughout this episode, so there's quite a bit of laughing and we did our best to edit out most of it, but some was left in for context.
We hope you enjoy this episode. If you've got a reincarnation story; you know someone who's been reincarnated, or you've been reincarnated yourself, get in touch with us. [email protected].
